| Lowering BP
I am 60 years old, have CAD, prior MI, and thyroid problems. My BP was averaging 140/80 bpm @72. I have been taking Tenormin 25mg for years.
At the beginning of the month I purchased what is called a ‘chi swing machine’, (no brand name used), which is a passive exercise machine. In the past two weeks I have watched my BP drop from 140/80 bpm 72 to 121/65 bpm 62. I feel good, no lightheadedness or dizziness, my color looks great. This all sounds great but I found one website that said a drop in BP in the elderly can be a sign of a more serious problem. I don’t know whether or not to be happy or call my MD. Any comments are appreciated, thanks.
