Greg, There is no doubt in my mind that you have a similar problem. They tell me it's orthostatic hypotension. It can come from eating as well as standing or sitting up too quickly. When they have trouble getting your blood pressure, try tilting back as far as you can. I have to tilt back when I

try giving us an example of what kind of high is when you're in bed. Also give us a example of what it's like in your chair. If you would like I can go into great deal and to mine, because I probably take my blood pressure anywhere from 5 to 10 times a day depending on how much trouble I'm having.

There are a few reasons that your blood pressure might be shooting around. First, do you ever test to see if your bladder has much residual urine? If you have a few hundred CCs can cause your blood pressure to be high. Your bowels can have an equally upsetting effect on your blood pressure.
