Re: - dysautonomia - how do YOU control low blood pressure???

[Guest guest]

My problem is I do have moderate to high blood pressure but then

have major drops in BP when I bend over or get up quickly. I had

meds during Zipporrah's pregnancy (the whole way through) but got off

the BP meds about 2 months after she was born. Guess it is strange

dealing with both higher and lower together. I go through decent

periods and then bad periods. Sometimes I will be so bad just

walking around or standing still I will black out many, many times a

day. I usually am much more run down at those times. The

frustration to me has always been how other people seem to be treated

for this and yet noone seems to feel it important to treat in me! I

do know when to sit down or lean against a wall and " wait it out "

till the vision returns and then go on with life. I have been

dealing with the issue since 1989. Guess it seems just another daily

part of life to me now. LOL
