Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 -mine runs a little low but not like that, no thyroid last time checked. my EMT son in law thought for sure it would be high one day when my feet and legs below the knees were very swollen, but it wasn't. he thought i was getting ready to have a heart attack because that can be a sign of one comeing on. -- In , " jackiebreeze " <jackiebreeze@...> wrote: > > Hi, > I have horrible low blood pressure.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I know most of what signs of a heart attack are..I got confused because I was talking about low bp and a poster mentions something that was a sign of a heart attack in the post about low bp...I thought she was stating low bp was a sign of a heart attack....I guess she got a little OT, which was confusing for me. > > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > I have horrible low blood pressure.
