Hey all,
My blood pressure was 116/70 before I started LL. I gave blood last week so I guess they looked at it then, didn't say anything though. I had it read yesterday and it was 136/89. I know it's still in the range of normal but I'm still worried about it going up by 20 points? (pulse rate also up)
There's only one thing I can think of that fits, and this is where I need you guys to say if it's plausible..
Last week I was COLD. I mean freezing. Unless I was out and about walking or active, but even then I would just be normal when wrapped up to the nines. This week I have been back to normal temperature.. I mentioned that I'd stopped feeling cold to LLC, and she seemed to think it was odd..
Also I notice that when I'm warmer everywhere, I stop being able to feel my pulse without putting fingers on pulse points, and it feels slower when I do..
Could it be that my heart rate has increased to compensate for my coldness, and restore me to a normal body temperature??
Should I be worried about it going up that much?
