Perhaps it's Paget's disease, a bone disorder that depending on the bones affected can cause many of the symptoms you describe.

Hi Thanks yep I get all those symptoms . I told my neuro last time I went that I felt like I was going to pass out when walking . I can only walk a short distance anyway because of some undx neuro problems I was fit and healthy up until two yrs ago . Ive had the following since then spasms in my feet as soon as I stand up , feet turn blue/after few minutes Poor blood flow?
toes locked ob both feet doesnt hurt just cant move them so affects balance, stiff legged walking (look like a robot)
myoclonus
pains stinging,burning ,electrical everywhere
headaches,
dry eyes,
problems swallowing
chest pain
chronic constipation,outbreaks boils,abcesses
severe muscle atrophy
dizzy spells
jaw pain,ear pain you name it !
Reflexes normal walking problem occurs after few steps
I have tried getting some more tests but apart from the endoscopy not had much luck seems to be a lot of complacency on the drs part !
Re blood pressure readings at the hospital werent really interested. I think the problems lies in the differnt disciplines only being interested in their part eg neuro symptoms neurologist anything else that crops up not her field so see my gp , I really dont know if everythings related or not anymore!
I am now a wheelchair user reluctantly I can tell you because Ive had that many bad falls . I am seeing my gp on thursday so will mention it to her and see what she says. Thanks very much though I always appreciate any help XX Chris

What are your symptoms when walking?
I am only guessing, but I would assume low BP would effect walking in some manner. I would think you'd be awfully tired in general as well.

Low  BP is mostly symptomless since one gets accustomed to it.
The symptoms of low BP are more or less the same as with high BP - hypertension. They are:
Fainting or reeling sensation or giddiness , Low vitality or weakness, Lack of concentration, sleepiness, Fatigue, dizziness or lightheadedness, Headache, stiff neck, Chest pain, palpitation, and Shortness of breath or breathlessness.

If your BP/Pp have been low for quit some time and you have no issues, then low BP/Pp is probably normal for you. However if it suddenly changes and you are having health issues then something is going on.

Did the hospital or doctor very get back with with any comments on such a low BP/Pp?  I mean, if it were me, it would be a worry.

I have  a Automatic Omron HEM739 Blood Pressure Monitor with  Wrap Cuff which is suppose to be better than wrist monitor. My BP is all over the range from 90/60 to 135/70 and Pp anywhere from 45 to 70. However it act the same, different at different times, at the doctors office.

Hi thanks for all the info it is quite complex isnt it! Ive been taking it on the same arm at the same time of day am and also at pm . Its always around the same mark !  Ive had real problems with dizzy spells feeling generally unwell especially when attempting to walk . Previously my blood pressure has always been pretty stable never really varied usually 120 over 70s normal for me. The only reason I knew it was quite low is I had it checked at the hospital prior to an endoscopy  due to chest pain,problems swallowing and weight loss . I purchased an omron moniter as its recommended by the heart foundation as being pretty accurate . I have severe mobility problems as well due to unknown neurolgical dx (so Im told) as well . The main question for me really is could this low blood pressure be responsible for feeling really awful when walking ? I cant walk very far anyway but try to walk as far as I can each day as I fear I will lose my ability to walk altogether if I dont. Chris

I don't know how much you know or how much info you want.

However, not only is your BP low but your Pp as well.

Blood pressure is different at different times of the day, higher in the AM, low in Mid day and lower PMs. Also varies from day to day, etc. Also what type of monitor was used will have a difference. Standing or sitting too. One arm to the other. Measurements should be taken at the same time of day as possible to ensure the readings taken are comparable.

Normal ranges for blood pressure in adult humans are:
Systolic between 90 and 135 mmHg  
Diastolic between 50 and 90 mmHg  
Children are lower and elders are higher.

A blood pressure level that is borderline low for one person may be normal for another. The most important factor is how the blood pressure changes from the normal condition. Most normal blood pressures fall in the range of 90/60 mm Hg to 130/80 mm Hg, but a significant change, even as little as 20 mm Hg, can cause problems for some people.

When the blood pressure is too low, there is inadequate blood flow to the heart, brain, and other vital organs.

How are you feeling?
