My BP has been all over the map the last couple of years. I used to
routibnely be 90/60 give or take even 80/50+ was normal. Since I got home
from my last skin flap it is not unusual fot me to be 150/98, then get in my
chair and it would drop to 90/60 or there abouts. Lately my weekly
nurse has been taking it while in my chair and this last week was 150+/98.
Yet at the doc office 2 days before was (with one of those machine type
things that take your pulse etc.) 100/70+.
I took my blood pressure 3 times during my morning routine for a week--first
when my attendant got here--was always very high. Then after breakfast and
on my back--went down a little. Last about 10 minutes in my chair, and it
would be "normally" low. I showed it to my rehab doc and he did not have
much to say because if he gave me something to bring it down, I would pass
out in my chair.
Now it seems to be consistantly higher for my "low" readings. This has been
going on for several years--the really high readings while in bed, but
always went back down to normal after I would get up. Lately the 'low'
readings are not as low. It has been quite a while since I have had even a
90/60!
I am going to see and indocrinologist (sp?) in june to make sure myblood
levels and enzymes etc are all good. Got really sick last week and had a
strange rash that ran from my groin area up to my belly button and up my
sides about halfway. The actual sickness only lasted 1 day, but the rash
took 4-5 days to leave. At least the doc got to see it. Whatever it is, it
was out of the realm of my rehab doc! --like he should know "everything"!
:o)
my 2 cents,
