Guest guest Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Orthostatic hypertension is an underappreciated but potentially clinically important entity. Orthostatic hypertension is defined simply as an increase in blood pressure upon assumption of upright posture. Tom > > Hi All, > Just wondering if anyone has heard of Orthostatic Hypertension? My RA thinks that I may have this caused possibly by Stills so thought I'd ask to see if anyone else has it. > Thanks! > Chris > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I haven't experienced this, but I have low blood pressure and when I go in, they tend to put me in all kinds of positions to try to get me to have a higher blood pressure, sounds crazy, but true. I guess my normal is around 88/58 or so... sometimes a bit lower, sometimes a bit higher. On very rare occassions it will be as high as 100/60.. when I say it's high to the nurse she looks at me like I'm nuts! Alli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Marfan's is very rare. Echo ever done? Eye exam? Family Hx?I think there may even be gentic testing that can be done now but haven't looked at it for awhile.CE Grim MDHello,She diagnosed the Marfan's because some of my features; tall, thin, roof of my mouth-high; scoliosis with dural ectashia (spelling?); hyperextension of my joints; some chest pain; longer than average fingers, hands, and arms; and thin face.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 From one of her postings. " My other medical conditions are Marfan's Syndrome and severe scoliosis with dural ectasia (very painful). I did have surgery on my left ureter to my left kidney because the ureter was really narrow and causing me hydronephrosis. This has since resolved.
