I am 49 years old. I noticed a few montha go on a visit to my doctor taht my pressure in standing was 130/100
on sitting 125/85 ande on lying down 105/75.

I went through a battery of tets including renin levels
etc and all were normal. My lipid level were very normal
Total C 160, HDl 42 and the rest were very normal.

t was recently noticed that if I measur pressure with teh hand parallel too the ground it was normal 105/75
be it standing up, sitting down or lying.

Most of the pressure was measured with the hand pointing down earlier. the doctors are baffled.

I would apprecieate any info in this regard.
