The nurse I had yesterday did ask me if I would weigh and I told her no. She said that I would HAVE to let them chart my weight at some point in case they have to refer me for something, which I know is a load of crap. I told her I check it on my way out so that *I* know what it is every time I see the doc and if he needs to know he can ask. She did take my bp properly yesterday and the reading was 124/80. Perfectly normal. The nurse mentioned my prior bp (the one that made the doc put me on medication) and kept mentioning it as being 150 over 108. The nurse that took that reading told me it was 180 over 108. Now I wonder. I should have asked to see what she wrote. My doc asked me if I was still taking the bp medication he put me on the same day I started the natural thyroid and I told him no. I stoped taking the Bextra AND the bp meds, and my bp has been fine ever since. There is a weather front moving through today and my joints are hurting, but nothing I can't deal with. I've been taking aspirin 2 or 3 times a day and doing fine with it. I may give Naprosyn another try. ===== Kathy >^,,^< KitzCat146@... http://www.chaytongroup.com/modernbill/order/index.php?aid=ka081104 http://www.heartwarmers4u.com/members/?kitzcat kitzcat2001 on Yahoo Messenger kitzcat on MSN Messenger In a cat's eyes, all things belong to cats. - English Proverb __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very similar to my bp history - however my bp has risen markedly in the last 4 months up to a high of 145/95! I have since bought a blood pressure monitor [upper arm type] and have been monitoring every day plus using an accupuncture device on the blood pressure points on the wrist and ears [my blood pressure is now down to 120/80 with this.] My dr and i are pondering whther its the change in adrenal support that has affected my blood pressure as with being a little better i am at least walking around more. however we haven't yet discovered why it rose so dramatically -- Alison http://www.alisonashwell.com/ http://www.artwanted.com/alisonashwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I don't have an answer to that, but just wanted to tell you that even being a smoker, my normal bp is only 90/60 (unless I have a migraine). Odd thing, isn't it? Ami -- blood pressure Can someone explain the connection between blood pressure and low thyroid if there is one? I've always had low blood pressure my whole life, including when I've been very heavy. For me, a typical bp would be 110/65. Until after my last baby, when my thryoid and hormone and all sort of problems kicked in. Since then, it's more like 135/85. So far, no one has raised any concern about it, but for me that seems very high. Especially since I exercise regularly, which should help keep it lower anyways. I'm not sure if the Dr.s have been using the larger cuff like they should be with me. This last week when I was at the Dr., I know they used the small cuff and told me my BP was 165/95!! I asked her to try again with the larger cuff, and it dropped to 130/85. Better.... but still so much higher than I've ever had, thyroid and all. I can't find any factors of lifestyle that would explain this. My parents always had low bp, so I don't see an immediate family connection either. Sisemore No virus found in this outgoing message.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Mainly the SYytolic should rise 10 poins and best if the Diastolic comes up SOME but it seldom comes up that much.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hi Val, I've done the BP test again. When I sit I get 111/70 and then stand I get 119 over 76 and it's been awhile since last Cortef dose. Maybe late at night was not the best time to have tested yesterday and that's why bp fell on standing? Still though that is only 8 point raise -so would that point to needing more Cortef? I am a little freaked out because my pulse which has been in the mid 80's was 95 sitting and 103 when I stood up. I didn't even know it was running so high right now. I bumped up t3 over the weekend from 55 to 60mcg so maybe that is the cause. I have low ferritin, low potassium and low sodium (although I have also been eating more salt over the past few days). Any thoughts on which thing is most likely causing the high pulse? How bad is it to have pulse running too high? Thanks for your help! > > So if it falls, would that be saying adrenals are very unsupported? > > > > Mainly the SYytolic should rise 10 poins and best if the Diastolic comes > > up SOME but it seldom comes up that much.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 OPPS about the Bp.. NO I do nto think that little bit off means you need more HC. I owuld call that riase good enough. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 My pulse is back to 70's but today bp fell on standing. I wonder if I am doing this right. How long do I wait from sitting and doing a bp reading before I stand and do a bp reading and when I stand do I let my arm hang down or hold it up with my other arm. If it is definitely falling when I stand up, then what? Add more Cortef? Thank you! > > Yes it may be differnt at different times of the day. If your pulse > stays over 100 I owuld say you ned to trweak something, Oftenlow sodium > causes that so an lectrolyte panel is cheap and tells alot. > > -- > Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV > > http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
