JenniferInOhio Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 90/60 most of the time. It does dip to high 80's over low 50's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gena Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 When I'm in Pots Hole my BP can get down into the 70s/40s (and miraculously I do not faint). However, it normally ranges from 85/52 - 95/65. If I'm at a doctor's office though I get stressed and have anxiety, so it often reads higher in those situations. The only med I've tried to raise it was Midodrine and I never noticed any difference even when I upped my dosage.Gena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I was put on clonidine about a month ago.Mine is around 120/70 as long as I am lying down. When I am up after more than 10 minutes or so, it goes to around 180/90-220/130. Then I faint. On the clonidine, it has dropped to about 90/40 if reclining and will pop up to 150/90 if up too long. Even on the med, if I'm having a bad day, no matter what I do, my bp will not come down.The only time my bp is ever on the low side is if I've been lying down for a long time. morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I haven't been without meds since I was in the NIH study in 2000... and I wouldn't do it again. It's terribly low--with no diastole, like 50/-- or less.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Hi,My BP is all over the place from 0 to 220/170 with meds and without meds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Dame Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Mines about 117/60 laying down and 90/50 standing without meds (on an average day, on a bad day the numbers are different). With meds my BP is about 110/70 standing (0n a good day)...I take midodrine so I don't know what it is laying down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie802 Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Wow, I never realized that you could faint from your BP being soo high!! Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I never thought I would be a fainter because of my hypertension, but i started fainting last August. That I know of I have NEVER fainted when it's low, only when it's high. It will go from 120/80 to 220/120 in about 1-5 minutes and then poof I'm doing the face plant dance.Shows what I knew...

AJVDK Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Mine is anywhere from 70/40- 100/60. Mine right now is running real low, but it do to the meds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetM Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Mine is generally around 90/50 when i am feeling reasonable. On a bad day, like today it is reading 52/28. Struggling today!I have heard beta blockers lower your bp. But i have to take them to slow down the heart rate. Can't win eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukkychrm42 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Without meds it's been tracked from 180/120 to 55/33 to palp, and with meds it's usually around the low side of normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halmad85 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Before I started Florinef, it usually ran about 90/40. Now, it's usually normal, like 114/70. Once at the doc's office it was up to 130/90 (highest it's ever been for me). The only time it usually goes very low now is after eating.
