Hiya well as you know i been panicky over the week but i am ok now still exhausted getting over that feeling of having a hrt attack worst panick attack yet.. anyways i bought my self a blood pressure monitor and hrt rate measurer... i took my daughter to school this morning cam home and it is 94/63 and hrt rate is 76 this is good for me... it is still morning after all 8:33am...

just need some insight to what is dangerous etc.... on my box it says normal is anything 90/60-140/80 thats normal... so i assume mine is normal... just shocking as the last time i got messured by a digital one i was in hospital and it was 200/110 and my hrt rate was something like 180bpm.. lol

thanks...

Yours seems normal ... kind of like me. I never have a number over 100. Some people are just built with lower blood pressure.

I know that if the first number drops seriously below 90, then it can be cause for concern. As for the other reading it seems VERY high

Hi Donna,

94/63 is great. 200/110 is pushing up towards a stroke if it is long term, but is probably OK if it is caused by a panic attack & is short term. Weight lifters can have 300+ pressure while performing a lift & they don't pop vessels :) Have you tried a Beta Blocker? These can stop a panic attack before you get one as they break the Brain-Heart-Brain cycle duraing an attack. The downside is they make it a little harder to exercise & can cause depression but taking one may help you to understand what is going wrong.

What drugs are you currently taking & are you still having success with weight lose while taking Effexor?

Cheers,
Panda.

If your BP is consistently over 120/80, then that's not good - organs will be damaged over the long term. On the other hand, if your BP is low, don't worry unless you regularly experience symptoms like dizziness or fainting.
