Will- Doctor Mode

This was another request!

Having low blood pressure (hypotension) sucks. I know one way to control my blood pressure is not drinking to much alcohol and make sure I drink plenty of water. I do this everyday and most of the time I keep my blood pressure up. But I still want to feel 'normal' and go out with friends and drink, just can't get drunk.

Tonight I'm out with my friends at Mollys drinking. My friends are tipsy, on their 3rd or 4th drink at this point. Although they keep buying me drinks I'm not finishing any. If anything I've only had maybe 2 full drinks. I know I've not eaten enough or drank enough today as I start feeling lightheaded and dizzy. I then begin struggling to listen to the conversation at hand. So I decided it's time to fit me go home. I take out my phone and phone my boyfriend Will
"Hey baby everything ok?" he asks
"Erm yeah just not feeling good. Can you come and get me?"
"Yeah of course, what's wrong though?"
"Think it might be my blood pressure"
"Ok. Stay sitting down. Get a drink of water and something to eat if you can"
"Ok"
"I'll see you in about 10 minutes"
"Ok see you soon" I end the call and turn myself to face Stella behind the bar
"YN you ok? You look a little off?" my friend Emma asks. I don't reply just speak to Stella
"Erm can I get a water please?" I ask
"Yeah course" she replies from behind the bar quickly handing me a drink "need a anything else?"
"Have you got anything salty?"
"Salted peanuts will that do?"
"Yeah that would be great" Stella hands me a bowl of salted peanuts
"What's going on?" Herrmann asks seeing that something is going on
"I think my blood pressure is low"
"Brett!" Herrmann waves Sylvie over to me
"What's up?" she asks
"YN said her blood pressure is low"
"I'll be fine. Wills on his way"
"Ok well I'll sit here to make sure you really are ok. Now you need to eat up"

I manage to drink a glass of water and eat my bowl of peanuts before Will arrives
"YN? Hey baby. How you feeling?"
"Feel lightheaded and nauseous" Will checks my pulse first. I notice his brought my blood pressure machine with him
"Can I have your arm?" He asks. I give him a little nod and hold my arm out for him. He wraps the pressure cuff around my arm and Will turns the machine on
"Is she ok?" Emma asks nervously
"Let's just see what this tells us then we will know more" a few moments later the machine beeps "81/52. Babe your really low. You need some salty foods"
"I had some peanuts. Stella have me them"
"Got any more?" Will asks looking at Stella who nods grabbing more peanuts "and another glass of water?" again Stella nods grabbing some water handing them over to Will "can you eat all of these and drink this before we go home. You can put your compression soaks on"
"Ok" I breathe out
"Will she be ok?" Emma asks again
"Yeah. Just low blood pressure. She been drinking?"
"Yeah we all have" Will sighs
"Alcohol can lower her blood pressure. Sure one or two are fine but not more than that"
"Is this our fault?" another one of my friends asks looking like she about to have a breakdown
"No, no this is no one's fault. YN knew she had to stop drinking and go home. She knew she needed something salty and some water. Don't worry" Will tries to calm my friends down while I continue to eat and drink.

Once we arrive home Will takes my blood pressure again and it seems a little better. I put on my compression socks and relax for the rest of the evening, falling asleep in the safe arms of Will.
