Blood Pressure

I've had some issues with blood pressure but as it turns out it runs in the family on my dad's side. When I was first injured and moved to a regular rehab facility the staff there didn't know I was flat on my back  for nearly 2 and 1/2 months in traction. I didn't have any surgery on my neck at anytime even in the past 33 years. At any rate they were getting me up and into my chair and before I could say a word I passed out. After that they put me in a reclining chair and gradually working me up into a normal sitting position. I think nearly everyone with a cord injury has experienced AD to one extent or another. I can tell when my pressure is up because my face will turn red and feel warm and when it's low slightly dizzy. I do take several BP meds but they are still trying to figure out the right combination and dosage for me. I lost nearly 50 pounds and that has helped big time.
