HI, thank you to everyone who responded to my questions regarding cardiac tests. I am still waiting to hear from the cardiologist for testing after my stress test revealed past MI, last month. I have been keeping a close eye on my blood pressure, as I take blood pressure meds, but my pressure has been going from low to high rather quickly. I had a two day period , Fri and Sat, the 2'nd and 3'rd where I had a hard time dropping my blood pressure, even with blood pressure meds. Today I am experiencing something different and I don't know how common this is, and thought there must be someone else out here who is familiar with or has experienced the same thing.
My blood pressure this morning was fine, in the 110/60 range and pulse 50. The last couple of hourse my blood pressure has been acting different, I use a wrist pressure cuff that self inflates. I have no problems with this and my husband also uses it. Here is a sample readings to give you and example of the variations.
All in sitting down position, 5:20 p.m. 119/92 pulse 108,
5.23 107/73 pulse 67
532 101/70 pulse 60
6;00 p.m. 103/78 pulse 56
6:40 115/91 pulse 61
6;50 155/93 pulse 50
7;00 p.m 94/61 pulse 75
my last reading for this; 7;45 pm. 97/77 pulse 81
I also have felt nausea for a couple of minutes. I tend to be on the lower side of blood pressure and it is normal for me to have low heart rate, 40-50s. This was untill my heart started acting up . I just wonder how normal it is to have such a wide variation in blood pressure, particulary when resting no eating, drinking smoking etc?? If anyone knows anything I would appreciate it. Thank you for any advice, I just don't know anything about what is normal or not normal related to this and heart problems. fluffypurrcat
