wibbleway Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 I was wondering if any of you have blood pressure where the bottom number goes up before falling. Yesterday I was having a horrible spell and my blood pressure was 105/95 and my heart was 179. I had just been standing for a few minutes. I wanted to take it again but couldn't make it any longer. I am in a rare sub-group of POTS. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfish Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 this can definitely be the case. the difference between the systolic & diastolic numbers is known as the pulse pressure; a particularly high or low pulse pressure can contribute to anyone feeling cruddy. i have had both over the years. melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calypso Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I tend to have a pretty narrow pulse pressure (100/80, 90/80, etc.) when I am standing, from the few times it's been measured. It seems to be fairly common w/ POTS.Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
