Since the second H/A my normal is in the 140's for the first number. I try and relax on the couch for 30 minutes before taking it, if I take it after walking to the kitchen or other room it will be over 160 ish !
Five months after my heart attack, my BP fell critically low. 67/43 was the lowest I logged. I went to the ER and I was dehydrated. After a couple of bags and a follow up with my PCP got blood work and then an appointment with a kidney guy and then I was dusted off and sent on my way. Nobody had a clue why I was so dehydrated.
The preventative measures I've taken since is to drink lots of beers. 🤣
I see 4 different doctors now, and the tech in each office know that I have to rest before taking my BP, or it will sound an alarm for the ER because it will be so high.
Right before the second H/A it was close to 195 ! ! ! ! Wanna see them scramble in the ER ? Yah, I got to go straight to an exam room that day !
