Guest guest Posted March 31, 2001 Report Share Posted March 31, 2001 Vera: Ken's blood pressure goes to 200/110 routinely every night of his life even though we prop up his hospital bed at the head. We try to keep it around 165/90 seated or he will pass out if he even eats something. We never worry about the high readings, only the low because if it gets too low when he stands, he passes out, and if he passes out too often, he losses even more memory cells etc. His mind is much clearer when his Blood Pressure is high.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2001 Report Share Posted March 31, 2001 Vera, Warren's blood pressure goes up often while on Florinef & Proamatine. Right now his is really high both sitting and standing when last week it was down to 104/68 siting and 84/50 standing. I'm trying to get the doctor to give something which might balance it out but they are in a waiting phase. He also feels whether the b/p is up or down.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2001 Report Share Posted March 31, 2001 Watch out for the very high bp. My Ralph lost the sight in his left eye from a spike in blood pressure. Clot behind his eye. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
