anyone know...

I don't wanna bug Dr. Tom just yet but my BP has been low today from my normal 120/80 to 115/55 at it's lowest. Does anyone know how low I should allow it to get before I call??? I have no clue. Yes I am drinking tons of water it's the only thing that dosen't make me sick to my stomach lol.

I would check it again tomorrow. If you are feeling fine maybe it is ok. Mine runs about 110/70 or even 65. Make sure you are getting in all your fluid and protene. Make sure you don't get dizzy if you get up too fast. If you are not feeling well I would call otherwise jus****ch it. That is only my opinion. I have no medical education. Jane

Yeah I have been dizzy on and off but my husband dosen't seem too concerned. I dunno I just feel like poo today lol. I am hoping I will be better tomorrow or I will call Dr. Tom. Thanks for the input I am just curious as to what others think lol.

Mine always runs on the lower side... last night it was 105/65. As far as the dizziness goes.... the story of my life girl. I am dizzy all the time. The more water I get in the less dizzy I am... and I get a minimum of 75 oz in a day. I did have a nurse tell me to drink something other than water.... like propel because it has sodium in it... just to retain some of my electrolytes. She said with regular water.... it just goes right through you since you drink so much. So I for a week I went to straight propel water.... and drank gobs of it lol and that seemed to help out a great deal. If you are worried about your bp and the being dizzy you could always email dr. tom or taryn.

I will have to try to propel I don't know if my tummy will like it but hey I will try anything once. Least I know that I am not the only one with really low pressure. I guess I am still adjusting to everything. It's been crazy. Hopefully like I said I can drink the propel since for some wierd reason I have not been able to handle artifical sweetners at the moment. That's the story of my life lol. But I do have some good news I had a crying spell tonight that freaked out several of my family members lol. I got the hair up my butt to try on a pair of pants I haven't even been able to fit my legs in much less get near my belly for about 2 years now. Well they were actually baggy on me. All I could do was start crying lol. I feel like a crazy person but it was soooo nice to be able to do that since I love those pants anyway. WEEEEEEE ok I am done ranting haha.

my home nurse that visited me this evening was talking to me about when to call my doc about my blood pressure because i'm on 2 medications, (1 of which Dr. Tom already cut in half yay!), and she said if the bottom number gets below 50 and the top number gets below 100. but either way if you are getting dizzy you should definitely give Dr. Tom a call. better safe than sorry!

I am going to on Monday to see what he says. I told him about them when I saw him for my one month. He told me to make my huby check my bp when I have a spell which he dosen't like to do so it hasn't been very often that he has. The butthead. But yeah I am calling on monday.

congrats on your first fart, michelle! thats what we call accomplishments on the mens forum.
