Guess I started something here. Great idea to be checking blood pressure and to keep some sort of log to help your doctor out. Mine raises to a low AD 130/80 within an hour lying down. BP drops after five hours of shivering.

I know when mine gets really low. Mine runs real low anyway usually 80/60, but when it gets lower I get chills, my doctor gave me midrodrine it highers the blood pressure. gina LTeasley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Everybody, I am a C4-5 complete since July 31, 05. I know I don't have a UTI, nor am I sick in any other manner. What I would like to know, is if anybody else suffers from extreme chills radiating from the core of the body with no apparent cause or solution. The heat at 76+ degrees and multiple layers including hat and scarf do not help. I am currently staying at an extended care facility where they do not allow us to use heating pads, hot water bottles, or electric blankets. I try to drink as much hot tea and coffee as I can throughout the day in hopes to do some warming from the inside out, also to no avail. Any ideas or solutions would be most appreciated.
