Hello again, My name is Lana and my son Gabe is 32 and has a C4-5 SCI, 10 yrs post. He also has other disabilities. He cannot participate right now. Question: Gabes BP goes up in the afternoon around 3:00 everyday. When he lies down it goes right back down. So it appears to be AD to me.

Hi Lana, Welcome back! Does Gabe's BP just go up when he is setting up? If so you might want to check the tubing to his leg-bag for any kinks. It may be that his urine flow is being cut down when he is up, and that would cause his BP to go up. I agree with your words. We all need to celebrate
