Greg,
There is no doubt in my mind that you have a similar problem. They tell me
it's orthostatic hypotension. It can come from eating as well as standing
or sitting up too quickly.

as you can. I have to tilt back when I e

Not sure if related, but think it could be, about 10% of the time they can't find a vain to draw blood. When it's that bad, even the light machine can't find a vain.

> I have problems
I have problems with this occasionally, especially after I eat or first get
seated in the chair. It's definitely not good to have this low. It's hard
on your heart and your kidneys, not to mention all of the other internal
organs.
Just FYI, if you can't get a reading sitting up, try tilting back a

When you're up, blood tends to pool in your legs lowering your

try giving us an example of what kind of high is when you're in bed. Also
give us a example of what it's like in your chair. If you would like I can
go into great deal and to mine, because I probably take my blood pressure
anywhere from 5 to 10 times a day depending on how much trouble I'm having.

that what you Quads get ? Does anyone take meds for their blood pressure?Thanks

Hi Glenn,
As you probably know better than I, sudden spikes in high blood pressure
in a person with SCI level above T6 is an emergency because it often is
a sign of autonomic dysreflexia. I *assume* you and your doctor have looked
at all the "usual suspects"--urinary tract infection, checked for

Hi Eric,
Restrictions on the sale of meth precursors (products containing pseudoephedrine and ephedrine) have been an important issue since the passage of the Oklahoma law last session. In an effort to reduce the meth problem, the state was the first to classify precursor products as Schedule V.

A lil exercise to do daily, or several times a day is lift your hand high
over your head, if possible, for about 10 seconds. Also applies to when laying
in bed before rising.
Raise your hand and arm as high as you can for as long as you can.
