To tell you the truth, I don't know much about blood pressure, so it's good that you're looking into that...I have no idea what it means if the lower number is dropping....I've always had normal-to somewhat low BP until I had IViG...After that, my BP would get high at times, and I constantly felt bloated...After starting prednisone, it would get very high after eating salty/sugary foods and such, but otherwise, would be a bit high- 140/80, or something like that...It's pretty good now that I'm on EOD of 20mgs, around 120/80 again...

I have a question for you, but I'm a bit scared of the answer...I know that you exercise, so thought I'd ask...I was exercising today, and my heart rate was like 165-180...Is that extremely high? Made me kinda nervous, and felt like i was blacking out a touch...i decreased me exercise right away, so as not to pass out, and felt okay...Is that really abnormal? Mind you, I'm really outta shape and i have MG! What is your heart rate like when you're doing heavy exercise?

nicky
Nicky- Well, id say thats pretty normal. But im no doctor Just a teenager who used to excersize alot.
Ill tell you that, mine is about 144 when im excersizing and im still in pretty good shape, i guess...
so you being at 165-180 is ok, i think. Yet above that could get a little dangerous.
Keep hydrated!

Yes, Nicky, that is rather high. Please check with your doctor. Have you ever had a stress test?

Nicky, i just read somewhere, your pulse should be (a little math equation) - 220 (-) your age.
For me its 203 would me the max my heart could take.

But, thats a rough estimate at what your heart can take. Certainly not spot on.
