Sam-
My regular blood pressure was around 120/70 and my heart rate was 70 - 80. I
was in relatively good shape, as I could swim 1-2 miles, consecutively and I
had to be able to tranfer 180 pound people by myself in my job description!

When my B/P drops, it can go as low as 80/40 - (one time dipped to 72/40), and
my heart rate will soar upwards of 120 at rest. I do not think it is a
"panic" response, as it can happen when I am sitting quietly, reading. It has
improved with increased consumption of water and greater physical activity.

Anyone else had this response? Laura
