Hi Cindi, I'm sorry you have RSD. One of the 3 main symptoms of RSD is lack of control involuntary organs, thus blood pressure both high and low. The sympthatetic nervous system causes high blood pressure. and the para sympathetic nervous system can cause it to become dangerously low-there fore possibly passing out (happened to me) Another issue -it affects our immune system, and circulation is another big issue.
I've had RSD 15 years, and before RSD had good blood pressure, active in sports, but now on 2 blood pressure meds, one double and one triple dosed.
Have been to cardiologist from a irregular ekg.
The blood pressure kits are only about $30 at costco. My Dr. has me take my pressure regular and journal it. Be sure and get checked. your friend, loretta
