You made me LOOK, Celeste!!
Found this:
The drug pyridostigmine (Mestinon) can raise your standing blood pressure without increasing your blood pressure while you're lying down.

Isn't that ODD????? Before yesterday I had NEVER taken my BP while standing OR while lying down. I usually only take 90 mg of Mestinon -- had increased to 120 because I thought it might help my stomach.
I don't "think" Mesty has affected my HR -- mine has always been pretty SLOW.
Thanks, Celeste!
