Mine goes the other way. It bottoms out within a few minutes, then climbs back to a reasonable pressure over 3 or 4 hours. I was told that the lowest bp that will support life is 90/60. Yesterday it fell to 85/43. I'm still here. Crazy!

I have had high bp issues since I was 40. When I moved to South Carolina 7 years ago, it really went wonky. My doctor added meds and it would calm down only to shoot up again. The last time I ended up in the hospital 🙄. Then I was diagnosed with Parkinson's. I am currently on 3 bp medications and my Carbadopa/Levadopa which usually lowers bp. Now I run around 150+/80 to 90+. Depending on my pain level that can go up from there.
The key is to pick 4xs a day that you check with a GOOD arm bp cuff. Log your findings and share with your doctors.
DO NOT IGNORE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS ISSUE!!!
