***@****
thank you Ann
I greatly appreciate the suggestions and feedback. My situation has been/is frustrating. I've had my thyroid checked and an EKG yesterday because I had a terrible headache along with the blood pressure drop while on vacation last week. Returned home and went to my doctor for an EKG, again normal.
Guess I should feel comfort in that the stress test, thyroid screen, and EKG have all been normal, but I'm still concerned because I don't have an answer for these episodes. Thanks for listening, folks, I greatly appreciate your time.
i just had my blood pressure taken it was 68/46 should i be worried they also took an ekg came back saying my heart isn't beating right
hugs Ann

I use to think it was my B/P, for years causing my light headedness etc....mine would get down to 90/50....88/48.....but you know after all these years it turned out to be pvc's all along....if you have always had low b/p your body is use to those readings I believe, now if it drops down where it usually isn't hanging out, then I think it could be a problem. Just my oppinion, good luck! By the way I take beta blocker with way low b/p and it hasn't bothered my b/p of course its not helping pvc's either LOL
Hi Denise, have you had your bp tested laying down then sitting up then standing up? I was 33 when diagnosed with Nuerocardiogentic Syncopy. I had to get a pace maker but a test called a tilt table test helped them figure out what was wrong. It is very frustrating I was misdiagnosed for a long time, if you have any questions I can try to answer. Goog luck
denise,
thanks for the post.
I know you are worried about this but there is nothing concerning to me about those blood pressures levels or variability. It is highly unlikely that in the setting of a normal cadiac exam (normal heart fucntion) that those blood pressures would in themself cause symtoms. I would be more concerned about other causes of your symtoms from other common things like hypothyroidism. I would see your physician for a check up.
good luck
