Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 Leo, This may be the drugs you are taking. Most AF medicine will lower your blood pressure. Also and this is a guess it be as your heart has been working hard when in AF the blood pressure may drop when it rights itself. Verapamil is one of the drugs that I am thinking of. Lastly my thoughts will be with you on the 12th September. Good luck C Hornchurch Essex England Last night I had an intense episode of AF for about 5 hours. I desperately wished myself to go to sleep, which finally happened. When I woke I took my blood pressure and found it to be 123/46, with a pulse of 54 (regular). Has anyone else had such low pressures after an episode of AF? I am rescheduled for another pulmonary vein ablation on Sept 12. Sure hope it works this time.

Leo, I saw a pulse of 50 or so looking over my doc's shoulder at thirty day montior stuff, and she said no sweat, during sleep that often happens. Possibly lower bp 46 is not unusual, I dunno, during sleeping. The higher the dose of beta blocker I am on, the lower my blood pressure. I have noticed the lower number in the 50s during hte day or an uncomfortably high dose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
