Hi Jobear,

Me again :). I do normally have very low blood pressure and am on no meds for it, my lowest has been 72/59 and they hooked me up to fluids via IV, they couldn't believe I had driven there to the doctor's office.

The one thing I do know is that normally if you take your blood pressure three times in a row you will get different readings. You then figure out between the three what your reading is (this is per my doctor). I would call my doctor and ask if this is normal since you have been on meds and it can't hurt to ask. Your meds may need to be tweaked again or like you said your body just may be adjusting to the new dosage. Also, take it very easy when you bend over and stand up because I get dizzy when I do this. Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

Take care,

Laura

so do you think because i kept doing it one after the other then it kept going up and down? i was tempted to google it but then thought no, al see something i dont want to and make my self worse!

hi i,m Ce
i am on meds for bp and when my anxiety levels go up it tends to aggrivate my bp,so for me its a vicious cicle! just lately my anxiety has not been too good so off to dr i go (as ya do) my bp was something lke 150-95 he also gave me anti-dep to start on,when i got home i was that worried about my bp,i checked it and it was a lot lower and then when i went again last week guess what?????yep up again but when i got home i checked it after hour and it was good reading,i have got HA but i have got to fight this one hard as i dont want to start questioning my dr.if i was you i would ring dr and ask advice but try hard not to focus on it. x
