My situation was that my Dr. would rather see the BP a little high than too low. My BP drops as much as 30 pts from sitting to standing. I had wanted it to always be less than 140. However, if it was say 130/ it might be less than 100/ standing. At times it was below 80/ standing when it was 120/ sitting. I had fainted a couple of times in the night when I got up to urinate.

I still have problems with wild swings, but am willing for it to be 140 - 150 if that is what it takes to keep it in a "non faint" range when standing.

Hopefully your Dr can get your BP regulated. Hang in there.

Regards,
Jerry
