My Blood Pressure Went Up!

I wasn't sure where to post this. For years my BP has been at 90/60. Before that it was about 104/70 ish. It got down to 88/58 less than 2 years ago. In March it was 90/62. Today it was 106/70. Wow.

It hasn't been this in 5 years. So that is good. I have symptoms from low blood pressure although not constantly. They have gotten less frequent. I remember reading on here that low blood pressure happens to Celiacs for some reason. Does anyone know why? I am very interested in why.

It seems weird to be happy about blood pressure going on. I was just so shocked

I can't say that I know the answer to your question, but just wanted to send congratulations your way! I always love to hear stories of people starting to recover from various health problems. It makes me very happy and keeps me motivated to stay gluten-free. Thanks for sharing!!

I experienced this also. I also don't know why. I had extremely low readings all my life and now they are in the normal range also. I don't know if it has anything to do with it but during an ultrasound on my heart a year or so ago they found evidence of past inflammation with thickening in the heart walls. Whether this healing was responsible for my now normal blood pressure I don't know for sure but I am real happy not to get dizzy standing up anymore, my world spins on it's own axis anyway (ataxia :angry: )so any less spinning is great to me.

RWG,

spinning is so scary. I get so lightheaded when I stand up quickly, but have noticed how much less it is happening. I got a virus once and when I woke up that night, the room was spinning uncontrollable. If I laid perfectly still it would stop, but any movement made the room spin. Horrible. Luckily it passed by the next morning. But ever since I have been more sensitive to thinks that effect me that way, like flips in the water, rides, etc.

I am glad your heart is much better. Inflammation could be a possible cause. I know I have been inflamed all over. I have never had my heart checked out. I am young and had low blood pressure, so everyone thought I was perfect.

I am so happy your blood pressure is in the normal range - I know you must feel a lot better!!!

I used to also have low blood pressure but not as low as yours !!! My docs could never figure it out but they were just happy it was not too high!!! Now at 61 mine will tend to go up - but I have not been exercising as faithfully as I shoud either... & yes, those dizzy spells were not fun - amazing how we adjust to something that is not right - like not standing up too quickly...

Congrats on the blood pressure going up!

I can truly relate to your experience. Before taking gluten out of my diet, my BP hovered around 90/54! Most nurses thought their equipment wasn't working right and would just keep taking it unitl they gave up. Now, I'm happy to report, that my BP hovers around 118/80. I don't have the dizzy spells anymore - thank goodness!

Not exactly sure why this happens. My only guess is that if nutrients aren't being absorbed properly due to a gluten issue, sodium might not be absorbing properly as well.

Hi all! Glad to know that I'm not alone with the blood pressure thing. All of my adult life mine has been around 90/60. Had all of the dizzy stuff and everything that went with it. While I was very sick my pressure dropped, the lowest I know about was 80/45. I was having lots of heart arrythmias, cold all of the time (felt like I was freezing no matter how warm it was), dizzy, ears ringing, you name it. No one seemed to know why.....but in my reading I found out that low folate, Iron, low B's in the blood can cause these symptoms. Now that I'm healing my last pressure reading was 107/65. I've never been that high in my life! Hopefully, as all of you become healthier, your body systems will all stabilize. Bet we all feel better than ever....better than we knew we ever could! :D

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
