dizzygirl Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hi folks I am wondering.. I had a bad passing out spell w/ paralysis this morning. after having adrenaline surges all night.. and absolutley no sleep.. and again I passed out and had paralysis while laying down. baffles me i really does..well of course after a spell I cant help but not fall asleep.. I zonked out for about 1 hour or so.. and then had to get going to to go to a cardio app... well I was really burning the candle from both ends today.. and I went to the new cardio.. and it went well in regards to the doc herself.. very nice.. what a switch!!Coming to my point.. I was still MAJORLY sysmptomatic once I got to ther office. then took me back and did vitals.. and they kept checking my BP I said you got a messed up reading didnt you?? the nurse was like yeah.. I cant get a bottom number.. so he kept trying.. and ulitamately my Bp was 130/0.. several times.. then he tried again and he got a reading of 130/20..so the NP comes in and she is like WOW.. and re-checks my BP and it was 130/90...do any of you experience BP that the bottom number bottoms out.. and you have a top number that is actually high for you norm top pressure??I'm just wondering b/c its not the first time that my BP has been so low that it is unfindable..I guess that I am a bit baffled by things..I'm sure that I was still reeling from passing out too.. oh what fun that was.. NOT!! considering that I had about 1 hours sleep in over a 24 hour period.. and that I feel horrid in general!any inout would be appreciated!

gwen Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I have had very odd readings at home and at the drs. offices. The nurses act like they don't know how to take a BP and then they try a few more times and get a funny look on there face and back out. This happened a number of times and finally I told a dr. I didn't think his nurse knew how to take BP and he smiled and said the nurse couldn't find one and was very embarressed. He took it and shook his head and said something wasn't right. he didn't think it was anything to be conserned about.Hm.(Haven't been back to his office.

Ernie Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hi,My BP is all over the place and medical personel have a hard time finding it. I know that somtimes they make up the numbers because they want to it to look normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wufflebear Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 yea, sometimes it gets really narrow and sometimes really wide. I have given up trying to predict what it will do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfish Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 i have some "patterns" - to a degree - but just about any & every reading has been found on me over the years.....isn't it just too much fun? melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Dame Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I've never had my diastolic flatline, but I have had strange readings. On my TTT my bp would go from 130/80 to 60/40 and back up to 160/100 in a period of a few minutes. It confused the doctors, but they said they'd seen it before (this was at vandy). I'm sorry you had such a rough night. Hopefully you can get some sleep tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
