Medical Forum / General / Cardiology / February 2008Am vs PM Pressure Readings Question ?
Hello, Am in my early 70's. I monitor my p every day, and have found the following: In the mornings, it always seems to be around 125-135 / 65. This is usually before I take any blood p medications of - IC Amlodipine 10 mg IC Lisinopril-HCTZ two tablets of 20/12.5 each In the evenings, it is usually in the 160 / 65 range. Both taken after "relaxing" for 1/2 hour or so. Is this large disparity in the systolic normal ? Why ? Any real significance ? etc. Thanks, Bob > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Any real significance ? > etc. Would suggest you inform your doctor about your unusual blood pressure pattern, which may be a consequence of the medications. It is possible that you no longer need medications if you have been eating less, down to the right amount: http://heartMDPhD.com/BeSmart > Thanks, > Bob Laus Deo ! ! ! http://HeartMDPhD.com/LausDeo Prayerfully in the infinite power and might of the Holy Spirit, Andrew <>< -- Andrew B.

Standard medical way is through decreased quantity by smaller portions and therefore decreased calories and as much physical activity which burns up calories. By under eating the number of calories you need for your size and activity, you lose weight. What you want to ignore is all the fad diets and all the diets with claims that do not "pass the smell test" Look for legitimate medical/ scientific evidence of the claims and always check with your doctor. satan via a sockpuppet (corporeal demon) hissed: > Andrew, in the Holy Spirit, boldly wrote > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Getting down to your ideal weight is always best. Only GOD knows "a priori" a person's true ideal weight so that what you have written is clinically meaningless.

So someone who is 5 foot 2 inches tall ideal weight could be, according to God, 450 pounds and so at that weight will have no diabetes, hypertension or other diseases. Chung -- you are the one who is an IDIOT and that is the plain truth > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > Thanks, > Bob The difference between the high and low is called "Pulse Pressure".

His question is not about the disparity betiwen the systolic and diastolic but about the difference between the AM and PM systolic pressures.

Google > that. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think you misunderstood his question. Pulse pressure is the difference between his systolic and diastolic pressures. His BP in the morning (systolic) ranges from 125 to 135. His BP in the evening (systolic) is around 160. His diastolic pressure is consistently around 65 He's wondering about the differences between his morning systolic BP and his evening systolic BP (remember: his diastolic is consistently around 65). This is a question he should refer to his physician; but one wonders what time of day does he take his antihypertensives. If he takes them once a day his doctor may consider retiming the current dose or dividing the dose and having him take it more often. Again, he should ask his doctor. Regards, |
