Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 With all the talk of BP problems I decided to check Jerry's even though he does not complain of being dizzy (one symptom we seemed to miss, thank goodness). BP is normal, 120ish over 70ish, but pulse is 100 when he is sitting in his wheelchair. Then into bed and it begins to rise. When he falls into a sound sleep it is up to 140/100,,,,,159/98''''''138/96.....150/98......(pulse is usually in the 90's) and the BP and pulse stay there for over and hour and I get too tired to continue to monitor. In the morning before he gets up I take it again and it is 128/84.....my question, I guess, is: Is there anything I should be doing for this? His neurologist has never even taken his BP and the PCP takes it when he is sitting in the wheelchair and it is just fine. To worry or not to worry. And you are right Deborah, I won't ask for strength just lots of patience to deal with what ever comes my way, day by day.
