Sallysblooms Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I usually have high bp. It is better with my meds. It does go lower too, but not super low like many OI patients. How many of you have high BP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIXZELAND Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Never did I have a past history of high BP until I developed POTS. Upon standing or walking my heart rate begins to race and immediately my bp rises. I must lie down to calm it and take my beta blocker if it's close to being the right time to take it. My bp never goes low upon standing as some peoples does. Good luck to ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallysblooms Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I always feel better knowing I am not the only one. I keep a good watch on it. At first, when I had no idea why I had become so terribly ill, I thought the bp was my problem. It was POTS. Thank goodness I had a good doctor and supplements, bp med too of course. Still have a long way to go, but so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
