I am convinced my blood pressure issues are connected to MS but having a hard time having doctor to believe me and in fact they just wont treat me for it anymore.
My BP is labile, which is not uncommon. Some people have that. My BP is usually borderline high even with meds, the lowest on good days at rest was usually 125/85 on an average, however usually the bottom number would fight to be in the 90's. Been like that for years. I would have spikes not controlled with meds and spikes assosocared with stress or pain as high as 180/110. I had numerous cardio tests in the past and they found nothing, I was just told thats how I was wired.
After my last attack my BP dropped to 110/70, I had to stop meds because I started to get dizzy. No matter what stress or pain I endured it remained low, my doctor thought it was great so I have been off meds for months.
Now it's back to 120/98 if I take meds the bottom number drops too low. I feel out of breath a lot when I walk, heart pounding or I sweat after walking around a store etc.... yet I am told there is nothing wrong with my heart.
I am so frusted, I am assuming this is MS related in some way. Maybe a lesion in a part of my brain causing all this craziness?
