Low B/P

[LightLizard]

very weird. i had a real krapola day yesterdy. felt tired all day, nauseous, my B/P was riding too high. or, higher than it's been. the day before i ate some fresh corn. maybe too much. my weight was high at bedtime, so i used 2.5 solution to dialyise, along with the usual 7.5.( i usually use 1.5)
today, i feel real good, but my B/P is lower ... in fact, i should be dead, according to my B/P. but i feel real good.
weird.

before dialysis, my B/P's were reading around 200/100- the nurses almost fainted, every time they checked me.
after i began hemo dialysis, they were still pretty high, but not as bad.

 for several days now, on P/D (the night cycler) my B/P's are showing around 114/70, and around there.

still feelin pretty darn good, tho.

I'm glad you are getting better numbers and are feeling good.
That's good news.
My bp was running really high and is now under better control and I was
able to dscontinue 2 of the bp meds.  Still on 4 tho.

if you feel good with that bp then thats the bp for you, every person feels good and gets dizzy at diffrent bp's, for me I feel good around 90/60.

I have very low bp's just naturally. I come off dialysis around 78/42. Can't seem to get them up ever, but I feel good at that rate.

When I was first diagnosed with kidney disease, my BP was 160/100ish and yet I felt great. Nowadays it usually hovers around the 120/70. Any lower and my muscles get extremely fatigued after the lightest effort - I can't even hold my arm out for 2-3 minutes. Some days it goes up to 140/80 and I feel like I could run a marathon.
