Blood Pressure Changes Drastically..
Posted: 11-15-05 18:57pm

Hi..I was just wondering.. How quickly can your blood pressure change? A week? 2 weeks?

Mine is usually 110/70ish. I check it often..And it's usually around there. Recently..I was busy, busy, busy, and when about to go to sleep at nights..Noticed that it would feel like my heart would pump really strongly...I also noticed my heart skipping beats here and there. Worried when this happened, I had my blood pressure checked at the docs and it was 128/89. Also, I told her about the skips. ..But nothing really came out of that. I told my doc this bl wasn't normal for me but she said its ok because it still falls under the normal range.

A few weeks have passed and my bl is back to its normal range.

Anyone know why it went up and stayed up for about a week..Then went back down?? It scares me!

As far as I know blood pressure varies constantly throughout the day,
depending on what time it is, what you're doing,how you're feeling etc.
It can completly change within an hour, that's perfectly normal.

Your said you were busy , busy, busy. Stress raises your blood ppressure no matter what. Stress can be physical or emotional, it doenst matter. As long as it is in normal ranges you have nothing to worry about.
