Re: Orthostatic Hypotension

>HI Marg,

This morning I said the same thing when I took Jerry's BP. I take it

every morning and every evening. Some mornings there's a drop like

you said and then, like this morning, it hardly seemed to move. Same

thing in reverse, some nights his BP goes up real high when he first

gets into bed and then other nights it seems just fine. Doesn't seem

to make sense but then none of the symptoms seem to make sense to

me. One day at a time. How do you explain the unexplainable?

Hugs, Jan

else experienced this ?

My husband's blood pressure certainly flucates from one day to the next , as well as at different times of the day. Some days, it is off the wall, other days it is fairly normal. We also think that it has to do with when he takes his medicine and what he eats, as well as, the problems that go along with the illness.

Best wishes to you,

Hi all

I 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 ?

Marg,

Rob's blood pressure drop varies also. It often depends on the time

of day, when he last had meds, when he last ate, etc. But it always

drops -- just the amount varies.

I think it's pretty common in this illness to have good days and bad

days, often without explaination. Rob was diagnosed 4 years ago and

is still quite mobile, withough many of the balance problems that

plague others. He has significant autonomic problems and generally

has a pronounced drop in blood pressure on standing, yet doen not

have a significant problem with high blood pressure when lying down.

Go figure!
