Talk with your doctors and see why they are not worried about it. I’m sorry but I am not a medical doctor and even if I was, it would be irresponsible of my to offer advice over the internet.

I have been taking my blood pressure at home for years always standing...... My bp got so low that I quit taking my Norvasc. Low like 70's 80's & 90's over 50, 60 and 70..after about a week I would get a spike like 150 , to 180 over 110.+..A nurse friend noticed I was always standing doing my BP. She said I should sit to take the blood pressure then immediately take it again standing........So for two days now my readings have been Sitting 149/85 standing 130/84..... sitting 145/89 standing 111/74..... Sitting 125/79 standing 98/62....... What is the accurate reading??. Sitting or standing???....If it's sitting I should be back on my Norvasc . I am 77 years old.

I understand that it should be lower when lying down, but I have a serious problem not wanting to get out of bed in the morning and am not sure what to do about it!!

This is a condition that when a person stands up the BP suddenly drops. If the person has Idiopathic Orthostatic Hypotension it means that the cause for the drop is unknown. I'm a nurse but actually the reason I know about this disorder is because my grandmother has it! It's very important to stand up slowly to prevent dizziness caused by the drop in BP.

I've found that my BP can fluctuate quite a bit over a series of 5-6 readings taken over a period of 10 - 12 minutes. The first couple of readings are usually the highest.

I take her b.p. sitting and standing. I am trying to figure out why her b.p. is higher when "sitting" than when she is "standing" She is on several different medications including blood pressure medicine. If you could help me out, i would appreciate it. Thank you. Hello, I take care of an eldely woman, who is 96yrs. old. I take her b.p. sitting and standing.

He refused to take medication and had a heart attack some time later. He started taking green tea(not sure which kind) on a daily basis inreplacement of whatever beverages he use to take. For no apparent reason he went to bend over to pickup some tools he felt like fainting. He immediately got his blood pressure monitor out and tested him self and it turned out his blood pressure readings were low. He hadnt changed his diet, or taken any medications. The only thing changed that week was he started green tea. Since then, his been having relatively normal blood pressure readings one should have.... Hi,
