Radha Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 i wanted to know if any of you experience sudden bp changes without moving, like 74 to 90 in a few minutes, i know i feel very agitated when its jumping all over, but it doesnt happen everyday, is this something to worry about? i know movements trigger bp changes, but what seems odd for me, is that i didnt move at all!, just feel real crummy, thanks to all for you supportradha Quote
Guest GayleP Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 Yes, My BP jumps all over the place. Although it is normal to have BP changes mine seem extreme. Quote
morgan617 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 Radha, mine never was below 160/100 for 4 years or so and now it's everywhere. We have no idea what's going on. I'm not sure if I have some muscle damage from it being so unrelentingly high for so long, or what. I am going to ask for an echo at my next appt. I know most people seem to jump all over. so I guess my course has been a little different than most, although I seem to recall some posts of people like me. BP's do vary all the time, it's the big swings that really get you though. I feel terrible and now I'm mostly in the "normal" range. Go figure..... morgan Quote
MomtoGiuliana Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 This is common with POTS. I also experience this. Keeping hydrated helps.Katherine Quote
ramakentesh Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 I amazed an ignorant doctor once by taking in a block of cheese and getting him to test my blood pressure before and after I had eaten it. He couldnt believe that cheese could make my blood pressure drop so sharply and then return to normal minutes later...Its like a sinking feeling - quite unpleasant Quote
Richland acres Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 Yes I experience it too, and get aggitated as you do. I find that if eat it changes and if I eat bigger, normal meals it really jumps, so its best to eat small meals. This often happens to me if I am over active on a good day too, then try to rest its jumping. Not many great days to be over active, but cherish the ones I do get. Take care,Brenda R. Quote
Ernie Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 I have a TTT that shows my BP going from 210/140 to 60/40 in less than 5 minutes. My BP is very unstable.Ernie Quote
Radha Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Posted April 15, 2005 thanks for all your input, but is there anything to help stablilize the bp? other than different beta blockers? thanks for all your supportradha Quote
