Orthostatic Hypertension
by Shagn41, Aug 01, 2007 12:38AM
Recently I had an MI. A stint and clot removal was the fix. I am 45 with a cholestrol of 164. I don't smoke nor do I drink. I used Meth for about 6 years prior to the MI. I was off the drug for about a year when it (MI) happened. I was told that I have an enlarged aorta because of the MI. My BP runs in the 125/80 range in a supine position and raises on average 20mm Hg on both the diastolic and systolic when I sit up. How bad is this condition, and what is the long term prognosis.
