Just came in and checked my BP 96/69. Been in the heat and sweating. Sure do not feel as well as you should with it that low.

I have those morning feelings sometimes, but I'm pretty sure mine is hangovers.Bright Raven":1jlcxwid said:'Guidelines' and 'normal' and everything that falls under the bell curve are methods of defining BP.
My BP runs low and my pulse is on the extreme left of the bell curve. According to my doctor, that is my 'normal'. My pulse has been as low as 48. My blood pressure both systolic and diastolic can fall below the median for measured BP. I have some early morning symptoms - really hard to describe. Not dizzy, it is more like feeling like you want to sleep. I recently passed out one morning. Doctor says he has the same characteristics. Low pulse, low morning BP.

For 4-6 weeks after the implant is done, warfarin is used. This is in case the procedure dislodged any existing clots. I don't remember what the dosage was on the warfarin.jltrent":1t6rplph said:Pretty interesting thread. With the Watchman device is blood thinner needed? GB you are very knowledgeable on this subject and I learn from reading your post. With almost 5 million people in the US affected by this and rising, very interesting. Seems like in just the last few years they have came up with new techniques that work.

After that, the only blood thinner is one 81 mg aspirin daily.
If you have other circulation issues, (diabetic or peripheral vascular disease) the cardio electrician may prescribe an anti-platlet like Plavix (Clopidigrel)

I am still having trouble in the morning. Very difficult to describe medical feelings. I tried a morning sports drink called Black Powder. It has a lot of caffeine but also NO - nitric oxide. It helps a lot.
its a blessing you ain't walking with a cane..TennesseeTuxedo":3och5ot2 said:TexasBred":3och5ot2 said:Dang man. Might ought to have that checked. Mine has always been around 120/80 or there abouts but pulse will always be over 100......MD put me on a BP med to lower my pulse. Took about 4 months to get dosage adjusted but now runs about 100-105/65-70 most of the time and pulse around 80.TennesseeTuxedo":3och5ot2 said:Where does 196/129 fit in?
That's my personal best from 2006.
I did, made some lifestyle changes and haven't had any issues since then.
No, there isn't a 'standard dosage' They start you off and then check INR after 7 days, and adjust from there. There are different factors, including what you eat that can change how the Warfarin affects different individuals.sstterry":3ft190r2 said:greybeard":3ft190r2 said:For 4-6 weeks after the implant is done, warfarin is used.

The dosage of Warfarin is always based on the INR numbers. Those can fluctuate quite a bit from individual to individual, so I doubt there is a "standard" dosage. But medicine is making progress by leaps and bounds.
