blood pressure issues

Hi All~

I just got back from the doctor and my blood pressure was elevated. I know that lyme messes with everything including the endocrine system.

Until I got lyme, never had a problem with my blood pressure.

Just checking. JKV

It could just have been the stress of going to the doctor.

My BP and heart rate have at times been unusually low.

I have cardiac involvement causing a murmur and mitral valve prolapse.  This is not uncommon with Lyme.  My pulse comes out as low because my heart misses beats here and there.

Also, sometimes my BP is a bit elevated at dr. appt's due to nerves!
