Good day everyone
My blood pressure is always between 80~120
But yesterday at bedtime I test my blood pressure it's was very low without felling anything 60~40. Way ?
Can anyone has same information about it ?
 
Which number are you referring to? BP is a ratio of one number over another and basically represents the pressure in the circulating blood when the heart is contracting (the top number aka systolic) and the pressure when the heart relaxes (bottom number aka diastolic) Generally, high BP is of more concern but if you are on medication for high BP or medication for any other condition and your BP is lower than normal for you, you should contact your doctor for advice.

I certainly mean systolic and diastolic Yesterday at bedtime was 90 this morning 100
I'm not sure but I think the reason is the lack of sugars

I do not use any kind of medication definitively
 
In the absence or restriction of sugars (carbohydrates) the heart functions quite happily on ketones.

Hi my friend
I mean sugars but low blood pressure when you need to sleep is normal ?
 
Sugars are carbohydrates. Do you mean blood glucose levels?

Blood pressure changes throughout the day and night. I have never had a problem with bp but I know that fatigue can affect it and that being in a more relaxed state can lower it. Blood glucose levels do affect bp at higher levels (and we know that carbs raise blood glucose levels). Many members suggest taking three bp readings spaced apart (not too sure about interval times) and take the average of those readings to record.
They also say to take the readings from the upper arm, which should be at rest, whilst sitting upright with both feet flat on the floor.
Some people who are suspected of having a bp problem are loaned a bp monitor that they wear for 24 hours to record their numbers as this gives a broader picture of how things are going.

Excercise is good. It may interest you to test bg before and after your cycling to see what effects that has on your blood glucose levels.

I don't have any problem with my blood glucose always between 4.5mmol and 5.5 mmol
After food below 7.4 mmol never I don't have problems with BS just I don't know what about A1C
Thank you guzzler

I mention bg in regard to excercise only because there are a few members who report higher bg after excercise (strenuous?) So it is wise to test for a period to see if it evokes a liver dump.

I'm not sure but I think I got rid of the liver dump problem
Yes, I have measured my blood sugar after riding the bike and eating fifty grams of peanuts
It's was 7.4mmol
 
Hi @HICHAM_T2 . I've always suffered from high blood pressure but I too recently had too low a blood pressure from sedation in a gastroscopy.
Just proves how stressed I am.

Were you relaxed and enjoying a warm coffee last night?
