Need advices: Chusions and blood preassure.

Hi Glomer06. Welcome. For lots of info on your blood pressure dropping every time you eat, click on 'search' in the top bar. Then type in autonomic dysreflexia. We talk a lot about this. I use a Roho high profile cushion. Before that, I had an awful gel cushion, so the Roho is like 'heaven' to me by comparison. But I am a paraplegic, and you are a quad(?).

Eu fallo espanhol e un pouco de portugués. Bem-vindo

I wonder how low your BP goes.  Does it get dangerously low?

Hello glomer06. Welcome to the forum. I too use a Roho high profile cushion. As far as I know it is probably the best pressure relief cushion you can buy. However, I’d be most interested to hear from anybody who knows of a better cushion.

Regarding your blood pressure and the fact that it drops when you eat. This is a medical phenomenon called “post-prandial hypotension”. As soon as you eat, even the smell of food, or food in your mouth without swallowing, causes your blood pressure to drop, sometimes dramatically. I have the same condition. Do you know how low your blood pressure goes? It would be interesting to measure it before and after eating. An example of my blood pressure might be 110/65 dropping to 65/42 after eating. It has gone as low as 56/38. Such a dramatic drop doesn’t happen all the time, but it always dips after eating.
