Anyone own a blood pressure device

[Fernando]

One time I was late for my appointment to the doctor and I was rushing to park and get to the health car facility.
When nurse checked my blood pressure, it was high. She said I should wait until I'm more rested and then she'll take my blood pressure again.
So are you saying if I do exercise, my blood pressure goes up. That can't be good.

Yes your blood pressure goes up during exercise, because exercise stresses the body. And there are good stresses and bad stresses. The issue is elevated blood pressure over an extended period of time that causes problems. The blood pressure guidelines have changed considerably. They want to see 120/80 (below those numbers). Your blood pressure is always highest in the morning and lowest in the evening. I have a cuff system. And is very accurate. My resting heart rate in the morning is about 42 to 44. I was a runner for a lot of my life. At 68, I still do some running, but not like I use to. Always freak out the nurses until I tell them why it is low.

My blood pressure has been going slightly down over past 6 months. I take it at night when there's less stress in AF. It's around 105/70 which seems rather low.
However my heart beat has been around 98 which seems rather high.

Do you have atrial fibrillation? I had it on an off in my 40’s, and then had an ablation. Then recently some 25 years later, I had a bout that lasted for 2 hours. Started while running on the treadmill. But I think COVID played a big part in that. I went on a no sugar or processed food diet, and I have not had a long bout of afib like that the past 9 months. I still continue to exercise, etc. Just not has hard. 105/70 is not too low. In fact that’s good. My blood pressure at times is 110/65. As long as you don’t get dizzy etc standing up you are OK. As far as your heart rate, as long as your cardiologist says you are OK, I wouldn’t stress about it.

Throughout the study, the researchers noted a consistent increase in heart rate: It rose by almost one beat per minute (BPM) each day. Starting from an average baseline of 69 BPM, the heart rate reached about 78 BPM by the second day of recovery. Similarly, systolic blood pressure (the top number in a BP reading) showed an increase, growing by approximately 0.5 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) daily. It began at an average of 116 mmHg and climbed to around 119.5 mmHg by the end of the recovery period. That's no small jump.

David Reichenberger, MS, the study's lead author and a graduate student in biobehavioral health at Penn State, stressed the study's implications, saying, "Both heart rate and systolic blood pressure increased with each successive day and did not return to baseline levels by the end of the recovery period." Simply put, even after two nights of extended sleep, the participants' cardiovascular health remained compromised.

These findings suggest that our hearts really do feel the strain of those late nights. More surprisingly, a couple of nights of "recovery" sleep don't seem to help your heart bounce back to its baseline. Your heart rate and blood pressure might not reset, indicating that the toll taken by consecutive nights of moderate sleep restriction could require a more extended recovery period than previously thought.

do you wake you with a dry mouth?

My Jan BP has been high but no irregular heartbeat symbols....

Wonder if there's a correlation-

 

[Tom D]

looking at the numbers above, terrel, you are wasting your precise time.
the biggest problem with blood pressure is that yous is getting older, and probable having narrowed arteries.
right now the business isn't helping to lower the tension, another cause to rising.

 

[Terrel L. Shields]

he business isn't helping to lower the tension

Actually, my business is too much work right now. AFib I am convinced is a product of the Covid shots. Too many people coming up with it and doctors even saying they are seeing an increase even when they are reluctant to say the correlation is the causation.

My BP is fine. Just had my annual last week. A1C is 6.9, BP was 130/80, lost 17# in 90 days. The only thing affecting my BP is the cost of Xarelto. But even so, it is just over half the price of Eliquis. Gotta talk to the Cardiologist about the generic Xarelto pill.
