I hate going on about blood pressure stuff, but honestly it is rather dominating my life right now. I think however that I am getting to the point of understanding what is going on better, unless I’m completely wrong 😀
This is my (pre-meds) reading from yesterday morning:
And early afternoon:
And evening (fairly late this one, because I was at a meeting):
This suggests to me that what I’m taking at the moment (2mg Lacidipine) isn’t having much of an effect beyond ten to twelve hours, leaving my BP at its “normal” level overnight. I’m also coming to believe that a drop of 50mmHg or more between morning and afternoon is something my body just can’t cope with. I have a further suspicion that what I’m eating for lunch has some sort of effect too, to the point where the drop can be 60mmHg or more.
I’m going to keep track of this for a week or so, but I think it might well be time to ask for a medication review.
