Thanks to you and everyone else who responded to my question on OH and how it can vary.It was interesting to read that Fred also gets red and flushed,and that you feel it could be due to his BP going up-I have always assumed it was my BP taking a dive as I get extra dizzy at the same time ,however I have never actually tested my blood pressure when flushed, I think I`ll have to get a home BP moniter and start paying more attention...... it seems to be an important clue in diagnosis. Once again thanks for taking the time to respond and for caring !

Love, Marg Manson

Often when we would go to the Neurologist and he would test Fred's B/p it would drop when standing as much as 30 or 40 . Other times it was just 10 or so, then at times with the meds no change at all. Sometimes when his just sitting watching tv, his b/p will go up. His face will turn beet red. With MSA it seem's it likes to keep you guessing and on your toes. Sometimes Fred will have three or four days that his doing pretty well. On those days he will overdue. Then just as fast there will be three or four days that his just awful and can't do much of anything. Also he does better in the morning's and not at all well later in the afternoon. That is why I ask for afternoon appointment with the Neurologist so that he will see Fred when the real MSA show's it face. Take CareVera***********Hi allI know many of you experience a drop in Blood Pressure on standing but I`m wondering if anyone has noticed that this varies day to day as sometimes mine drops 30systolic/10diastolic and sometimes hardly at all.(On these days I`m convinced I must be getting better ),Anyone else experienced this ?
