I am here. Knocking on wood, my MS may be working. Time will tell. However, I am below what appears to be the theraputic range for the med. I did purchase a blood pressure wrist device for about $35. I am using it to validate my heart monitor of my sport watch. So I hope this does not lead to a spending tree.

I do have orthostatic hypotensiom. It is worse some days compared to other days. I think my meds are making it worse. When the day starts out with me getting really dizzy, possibly almost passing out, I will take my blood pressure through the day. I take it laying down, take it sitting up, and then take it standing up.

As an aside, I went through three cardiologists before I ran into one that understands this type of BP check. I told him about this, and asked him why other doctors could not figure this out. He told me this should of been the obvious thing for them to do. Scary.
