Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does BP Level Of 102/69 Indicate After Taking Klonapin?
I typically have a blood pressure that is 120 over 70 (sometimes a bit lower, sometimes a bit higher). I recently had severe panic attacks and it was very high (150 over 110 at one point). I have been taking Klonapin (1 and a half milligrams a day) and sometimes the pressure goes as low as 102 over 69...it never stays that low...but I m concerned. My sister is an RN and assures me that blood pressure fluxuates and I don t feel sick or dizzy...should I be concerned?
I understand your concern and would explain that some elevations of blood pressure values are quite normal during anxiety of physical activity. But, there is no need to worry about them.
I would just recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values frequently during the day in the next days in the sitting position after 10 minutes of total relax.
If your blood pressure values are within the normal ranges (125/85 mmHg) most of the time, there is no need for any changes in your therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
