what condition leads you to use this site
Hi everyone, this is a fantastic site and congratulate Muszek. I have a paroxsymal arrhythmia (irregular pulse that comes and goes!) I use the site to monitor when my heartrate is tachycardic (eg.very fast) and when my BP drops as a result. I am a member of the Atrial Fibrilation group on yahoo and I am going to post a recommendation to its members to come and use this site, its invaluable to us to get info to our docs.  | |
Thanks.  | |
I think that is an excellent idea. When i use a BP monitor sometimes the heartbeat is regular and normal and at other times it is irregular. It is at these times that it is important that I mark down any symptoms I am experiencing at the same time, for example if my heart beat is irregular and I have chest pain or shortness of breath or if I have no symptoms at all. What you find is that when my heartbeat is irregular my BP will automatically drop as the heart is pumping inefficiently at that time.  | |
I've added an arrhythmia indicator.  There's a checkbox in the "add a new record" form and an icon in the table (you can see it in action @ http://bp-chart.com/table/muszek ).  | |
Thanks muszek that is excellent. This means when i notice an irregular pulse i can tick the arrythymia box and if i have a normal regular pulse i can leave it blank. Cheers mate  | |
Great site!! I use it to monitor BP since diagnosed with hypertension summer of 2010 @ 60. This site + Ramipril is keeing me healthy.  | |
Laura, may I ask if you have used any other meds before finding out that the Ramipril was the best choice? I'm using Diovan myself but am always curious for more knowledge.  | |
Chris, Ramipril is the 1st med my cardiologist prescribed. He said he had used it himself for abt 5 yrs--if it's good for him, i guess it's good for me.  | |
Thanks, Laura!  | |
What a wonderful, easy to use application, for years I have been scribbling my results of bits of paper and losing the whole plot.! Now its all so easy. Many thanks.  | |
Have hypertension, BP is always in the 200+/115+ and still trying to find a med that suits.  Been on Amlopodine 5mg  and 10mg and Ramapril 1.25mg, 250mg, 5mg and 10mg, been taken off meds for 2 weeks and ended up in Coronary Care, back onto Ramapril again, but makes no difference to BP so a change of meds yet again this week.  I live in hope!!  | |
Thanks so much I have hypertension. and this site is so help full.  | |
Had a heart attack two weeks ago aged just under 60. Never had blood pressure issues but the doc asked me to keep an eye on it.  | |
I have hypertension and inappropriate sinus tacky (IST) a form of dysautonomia related possibly to POTS.  | |
Hiya - first post. Put onto Ramipril last Thursday for hypertension and got a BP Monitor - and soon got tired of looking at raw numbers in a TXT file. Used YahooSearch and found this site. Seems fine so far!  | |
I love this site, congratulate Muszek! GOD will bless you, for doing this site, you have kind heart.  | |
