My blood pressure always drops when I dump, and I've understood that this is a

normal part of actual dumping and happens to a lot of people. (My husband was a

medic and has a BP cuff, so he's confirmed it for me more than once.) It's one

of the reasons people often feel faint when they dump. I've had it happen to me

behind the wheel of a car when a drive-through coffee stand gave me real sugar

instead of sugar-free latte syrup. I had to pull over and wait it out.

Those do seem like pretty drastic numbers, but mine have been close to that

range during a dump episode a couple of times. One of the reasons I try really

hard not to dump!

I don't recall EVER reading anything anywhere that

mentioned a drop in blood pressure as a part of

dumping. I have to admit, 71 over 59 scared the heck

out of me. Does anyone have any insight into this?

In my case, it has nothing to do with dumping..but my blood pressure

frequently runs that low. That is something I am going to address with the

endocrinologist when I see her. I'll fill you in if I get any answers. Not

sure it is something to be so scared over...I've had this for a long

time..and I'm still here! Better than the artery bursting high BP.....IMNSHO
