BP and weird feelings,please help...
by ajwwr82, Nov 30, 2008 10:09AM
hi i actually have two questions. the first one is about my bp. i just checked it (just woke up) and it was 99 over 63. in midday its usually 110/70 and in the evenings it is usually 115/75.why does it fluculate so much.im 13 years old by the way.
and then my second question....a lot of times when i stand up or sit down my heart feels like it goes into,what i would call somewhat erratic rythm,and it starts pounding for about 5 beats and then it is over,as quickly as it started.any ideas of what this is? sorta scary cuz i was thinkin like a-fib or somethin.
any ideas are appreciated.

While I find it a bit strange that a 13 year old would be checking BP at all, let alone several times a day, I can say that the range you quote doesn't strike me as anything to be concerned about. Is there some reason you make regular BP tests?
The morning reading is real low, but I'd expect your in-bed reading to be the lowest. Do you have any dizziness when you rise (get out of bed)? I think you might with such a low morning starting BP. If not, then seems like no problem.
The pounding for 5 beats sounds like a short episode and likely nothing to worry about. Let's see what other say.
