Question 2

i have normal blood pressure during the day and very low blood pressure at night. what can i do to put it normal?

Accepted Answer

BP dip: Our blood pressures normally dip at night.  This is a normal cycle. BP also declines after eating. This is due to blood pooling in our intestinal vessels for digestion and absorption. Be careful. Don't overeat in the evening. Perhaps you need a bit more salt. Measure BP lying then standing a few days in a row -- both am and pm times and before bed. This will provide data for your doctor.

Question 4

why do i wake up in the middle of the night , and have low blood pressure when i check?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry.: Blood pressure usually is lowest late evening and with early sleep.  Paradoxically, it raises in the early morning (7am-10am).  This is called arousal activation of the nervous system.  Don't worry, unless you have sx.  Also, if you are on BP meds, many are evening dosed to prevent the moring rise!

Bp: Typically BP and heart rate are lowest at night and sleep periods. This doesn't mean there couldn't be a problem but it makes it less likely.

Could be: certainly could be.  Monitor your blood pressure over the next few days, drink plenty of fluids, and if the double vision comes back you should have evaluation with your primary doc.

Question 8

i'm woken in the night by my heart racing so fast. what could this be. i have low blood pressure and have just started taken toprimate.

Several things maybe: It could be anything from anxiety to nightmares to the thrill of having watched Peter Pan live on NBC the other night and realizing that two of the actors in the production were from Cleveland, Ohio (where I live). Or, it certainly could be a side effect of the topiramate if you have only been taking that medication for a few days or a few weeks and this started right after it.
