Re: BP lower, Faster heart rate, sweating?

[Guest guest]

Congrats on your progress.

Since being on Spiro I sweat a lot more and am generally really warm

versus always being cold before all this started.

The only time I had an increased heartbeat was when we were trying

to get the K and HTN controlled. Since then I have not experienced

that.

Dash will help in the weight loss area. I am doing 5 pounds now.

Hang in there,

Kellie

Female – Age 41 – Height: 5’5” – Weight since HTN and Low K

at all time high of 190.Treated for HTN from age 18-32 when it

suddenly dropped. Started HCTZ for swelling in 04’. Have not

tested positive for PA however the treatment of Spiro is keeping

both HTN and K in check. No tumor on adrenal gland. Insulin

resistant-Hypoglycemic-No testing of AVS. Meds: 100 mg of spiro

in the morning and 50 mg in the evening. Xanax: .5 mg three times

a day. DASHING

MRI revealed benign tumor in left eye socket

Well I've been dashing hard for a week now along with

spiro. BP has responded favorably, down from 165/105 area

to the 135/88 vicinity. On 25mg spiro, 50 hctz, 80

micardis, 5 amlodipine.

Now I feel better but my typical heart rate has increased

from mid/high 60s to mid/high 80s mostly. I'm sweating a

lot more now and sweat has a noticeably different odor. I

have to think the increased heart rate is causing the

sweating.

I seem to have read here that when you bring down

longstanding HTN, you get a higher heart rate for a while.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Note I've tried dashing before but results were

disappointing. This time the combination of spiro/dashing

seems to be having a big impact.

In any case I am thankful to at least have the pressure

down. I'm also finally starting to lose some weight so I'm

guardedly optimistic about my health for the first time in

quite a while.

Thanks for listening.

I can explain the fast heart rate real fast...

your BP is made by this equation:

BP = HR x Peripheral Resistance

your body thinks there's something wrong, because for YOUR body the

sudden change in BP ( it going down ) means there's something wrong (it is used

to a very high BP ), now it is raising the HR to raise your BP, to keep it

" normal " for itself.

So for sometime while your baroreceptors ( pressure recetors ) get used to your

new low BPs your body will compensate with higher HR.

Anyhoo 80 is not a high HR, it is a normal one, a tad higher for your but

normal.

Sweat = more HR = more excercise = sweat...

Also we have an electrolite problem so we tend to sweat.

At last the sweat smells different yes.. because the composition changed now it

has less sodium... bacteria react different to it, and the odor can change.

In my case the urine changed it's smell as well..

Keep Dashing until you don't even need spiro !

You might want to look a wikipedia baroreceptors.CE grim MDThanks this makes a lot of sense.> >> > Well I've been dashing hard for a week now along with spiro.
