Hi, Mayork. I have had low blood pressure all my life, up to and including the time I had bladder surgery. However, my pre-op EKG showed what they called an extra heartbeat. They didn't bother to tell me this, and when I was in recovery, the nurse asked me if I had always had the extra heartbeat. It turns out that I had mitral valve prolapse with moderate to severe regurgitation of blood back into the chamber. I was put on some medication that had a very bad effect on me. How this relates to your situation is that all of a sudden my blood pressure went sky high whenever I went to the doctor. I changed cardiologists and the new one put me on a very benign medication (compared to most blood pressure medications)called Cozaar. I bought myself a digital blood pressure monitor and soon gave up on it because when I took my pressure at home, it was always perfect. Whenever I had an echo and was relaxing and talking to the tech, she would suddenly take my blood pressure, and again it was always fine. I'm not telling you to not monitor yourself every day, but I just wanted to make you aware (if you are not already) of what they call "white coat syndrome" which is when people's pressure raises when they are at the doctor's office. If you have anxiety about this, it could also happen when you monitor yourself at home. I hope everything works out for you. It has taken me longer than many people to have my condtion respond to Qigong, but I have kept at it, and slowly, I am getting better, and I am sure that you will too.
