Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Is the BP supposed to rise 10 points from sitting to standing or just 10 points from laying down to standing? How much is is supposed to raise sitting to standing? What do good numbers look like? I'm monitoring my BP but I'm not sure what it's telling me. I've got it to quit dropping when I stand, but it doesn't raise, either. Lia > > Your BP is stil lshowing a problem. Low cortios and you also would > probably do better in Florinef too.

Dropping means low cortisol. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 >>And heart rate should stay the same?<< Heart rate will always rise when you stand as it takes more oxygen to stand than to sit or lay. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try it slowly like 1 dose (largest dose first) in the AM and see hiw you feel then? I cannto in all conscience recommend oyu go any higher. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 My BP is finally normalized at 120/80 average. This finally happened on 22.5 mgs. HC. Val, isn't this a good indication that I'm now on the right dose? (at least just where HC is concerned) Re: Lower BPs >>I raised my cortef 2 days ago to 40 as bp still dropping on standing.

Does it rise when you take it first sitting then standing? -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Thanks Val That makes sense, I am banging my head against the wall, will try and source some HC cream.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Val sorry forgot to ask would you start at a lower dose? on the cream and if so how much. Currently on 40 mg cortef bp falling on standing. Thanks Caroline wrote: >>I raised my cortef 2 days ago to 40 as bp still dropping on standing.

If it shows immediate improvement you can adjust it down the next day and the following doses. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
