BP and KIDNEYS

pesty4077 · Sep 6, 2018

In order for a more accurate BP reading, you should be doing at least 3 reading per day. Also, you should be relaxed at time of reading. If I took my BP right after someone pissed me off, I could be 145/85. If I took my BP about 1 hour after taking meds. I could be 105/70. Look at averages during day, not just 1 reading. Also, look at averages over a few days at least or possibly longer.

Just depends on how much it affects your bp. If your bp drops a lot it will. For some reason that drug must not have affected your bp much or maybe it was pretty high to begin with and never got very low.

You need to report your before and after numbers.

didn't lower it too much ..so I may have to explore other avenues to get it to where I want it

but we shall see:star-:ars

What is your bp anyhow? Don't think you ever mentioned it. Im wondering how it is when you are clean and not on anything. Do you ever get off everything or just cruise on 100 mg test?

Several years ago, I worked at a major medical company and they had a BP machine, my BP was 195/110. A co-worker made me call her hypertension doctor and he freaked out on me, now with some kidney issues (CKD). I was put on quinapril and amlodipine and stay on that now.
I had low BP last year (not sure why) and passed out twice, literally fell flat on my face. Doc told me to just lower my bp med for a couple days.

I bring it up occasionally in my thread - whenever I go get a checkup.

it trends between 123/75 and 130/85 or so

idk what it would be if I was off gear or cruising.. a good bit lower I imagine

I haven't cruised in a very long time...

Those values are very good considering what you have been doing. It tends to get worse though as you age, seems like the body isn't able to tolerate it as good. Wait till you have been doing this 10 years.
