mom4cem Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Need a little clarification. After reading some other posts on b/p, I'm unsure. When most of you take your b/p, is it sitting? I know lying down it would go even lower.What about those on meds? Especially blood pressure meds. They lower b/p so how can one really know what their b/p actually is? I take a low dose of atenelol, 12.5 mg. in the a.m., so I don't know when I really should check to see what my b/p is like. Do you think when you are feeling poorly, all of a sudden, and you check your b/p and hr., and both are high, is it possible that it may have "bottomed out", a episode, as it may, happened and the high b/p and h/r is just compensation?Do my questions make sense? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 typically, folks report the contrast between lying down and standing up--but for some it may be lying down versus sitting up.when I report bottomming out, it's when I'm standing.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
