Blood Pressure

[berniec 166]

i Have a question about my blood pressure. Im still on blood pressure medication. I have been feeling light headed off nd on. Some days my pressure is around 120/78 and today it is 110/60. I think that is too low. I have a wrist monitor that I use. I believe it is accurate. If not I don't think it could be off by a whole lot. Does anyone use a wrist monitor and what do you think of them. I know eventually I'll probably have to come off of my blood pressure medication. I think I should call my doctor and have him monitor me more closely. I usually just see him every three months. Has this happened to anyone else. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also I'm down 54 pounds. Thank you.

I was taken off my blood pressure medicines after only 2 weeks post op. If I were you I would go see your pcp. They will probably take you off your medicine. I was feeling very dizzy also. My blood pressure was 90 over 60! Good luck!

I've learned that the wrist monitors aren't very accurate. I'm still getting dizzy because the doctor told me it takes 2 weeks for the BP meds to leave your system. I feel a little better everyday though. Hope you feel better soon

I thought about stop taking them but I'm not a doctor. I will call my doctor and see what he says. Thanks again.

You definitely should talk to your doctor. The first rule about bp meds we learned in school was that they don't always need to reduce bp to normal like 100/60 bc that could be too low for the patient. Good luck and make sure you are hydrated!
