Blood Pressure

[rich01]

Normally, with medication, my BP runs about 110/75 (+- 5 points). For the last couple of days I am seeing readings about 97/65. Last night I even halved my med to keep BP from going too low.

For those of you who had Aortic Stenosis, did your BP change as your AS got worse, and if so did it go up or down?

I'd ask your doctor before you change your meds. From the little I know, too low for BP is <90 not <100 and vary for a variety of reasons.

My BP did not change as AS progressed. After my valve replacement I could drop my dosage though.

My BP went a bit haywire before my replacement. It would spike.

Mine changed after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I used to have normal low readings. After diagnosis, it has ranged out 120/80. Still good for a diabetic. Lower if I am lucky at 118/80.
