Also being paralyzed from chest down, my bod can't regulate blood psi/vessel size on most of my bod so I have to take Prazosin which stabilizes, keeps bp spikes from happening but lowers bp as side effect. My norm is 90/60 give/take.

Oh my Eddie..... you've been thru so much. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you. I hate having low b/p. feels lousy. of course, having high b/p is also not good lol.
Now that I've heard from you and others on this board I feel better just kindof knowing what to expect.... thanks again.
