Tammy Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Okay, I'm really confused by the recent prescription my cardiologist gave me, as he is new to me and not sure if he fully understands what my body goes through. Here's why I'm a little baffled... Okay so when I do remotely anything my BP goes up, mostly my diastolic number will be around 95 and the systolic will be 119 or something like that, so not worried about the top number. My HR of course soars. So if I go start Florinef, won't this cause me BP to go up even more, and is that a good thing? When I'm resting it's usually 110/75 on average, it's with activity that it goes a little crazy- 123/106 just after walking two minutes earlier today. How is this florinef suppose to help? Thanks.Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat57 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 baffles me too. Cardiotec was started on it and her HR is 200. Hopefully she can clear it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) Hi Tammy,Have you ever had a blood volume test? If someone has a low blood volume then sometimes their blood pressure will actually go high as their heart tries to compensate. Though it may sound counterintuitive, Florinef may very well help to lower your bp.Here's a link to a recent topic. http://dinet.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtop...+blood+pressure There is a quote in there from an article by Dr. Bell. He described a patient with 60% blood volume who had extremely high blood pressure. They knew he was hypovolemic and gave him a liter of saline. His blood pressure then dropped!I hope this helps to answer some questions. And I hope that Florinef helps you.Rachel Edited May 15, 2007 by Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
