In January My Reading From Echo Was 39. Last Week It's 69. Is This Still Moderate Or Base Line High? I'm On Adempas And Uptravi.

Wow, Michael, that is high. I wonder why it fluctuates like that? When it's that high does the heart work harder to keep up? So much I need to learn. I go to my doctor appt the 10 of this month. I'm making a list of questions. Usually I see the NP.

My diastolic pressures tend to stay within a tight range of each other but my systolic numbers can have fluctuation...not as dramatic as yours though. Now my blood ox swings very wildly within a 12 point spread which worries me.

Mine went from 40 to 70, because of a viral infection.

I seem to be more tired I've also been using the cpap machine thinking this would make my pressure better.

This is exactly why my doctor said these readings can change week to week.
