Blood pressure

[Gaz22]

Hi I have been checking my blood pressure due to a change in my meds, Is it normal for your blood pressure to be higher when standing up than sat down, My blood pressure is 134/75 sitting down and standing up 145/95

Hello

It normally I think is suppose to drop a little bit when you are standing up even though usually you sit down to take your BP

Take the readings for a few days and if it keeps happening have a word with your Doctor

Let us know how you get on x

It should drop a little when you stand up. That's why if you are sitting and get up quickly you can go light headed. I'd definitely have a word with your GP if this keeps happening.
