Midazolam
Hi Chirley,
Did they give you Midazolam in connection with any of the BMB:s they have done before?
"Depending on its dose, midazolam can cause any stage of a cardiovascular and respiratory depression. High i.v. doses have caused cardiac and respiratory arrest with lethal consequences. Usual doses normally cause a minor decrease of the blood pressure and oxygen saturation. The amnesia desired, e.g. for endoscopies, can last much longer than the intervention, sometimes for hours (semiconsciousness). In addition to a multitude of central nervous symptoms (vertigo, dizziness, headaches, rarely hallucinations, etc.), midazolam can also cause visual disturbances and nausea."
I don't think the low neutrophils or lymphocytes can cause low BP but low Hb can make the brain more sensitive to sedation.
Hope you have recovered! Next time they plan a BMB they should do it when your performance status is OK.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
