blood pressure variability
Does anyone experience blood pressure variability or labile blood pressures since Post-COVID? I'll have readings that range as high as 168/117 and as low as 101/71 not long after.

yes, though my B/P can get so low during an episode (severe breathlessness and tachycardia) that the B/P monitor cannot read any pressure. When it does read it, 90/60 Usually it reads at 120/75
Yes
bigger fluctuations in this body.
i’m 73 so maybe part of reason?? The lower bps will sometimes trigger extra heart beats that the doctors say is not Afib just harmless extra thumping and bumping. Even racing for no obvious reason.
Yes, I have high blood pressure.
My BP fluctuations have settled down after one year on low dose naltrexone. It will still occur if I do not pace myself but that does not happen very often.
My BP has been high since COVID so I am on BP meds. Hoping Naltrexone will help lower BP/
I found mine was directly related to my electrolyte levels. After I nearly died of starvation and dehydration, I began drinking protein shakes and drinking Pedialyte. The Pedialyte would very quickly settle my blood pressure and heart rate. Expensive, because I need it every day, but effective. I eat really healthy snacks all day as my general diet, which should provide enough, but my electrolytes are still off. No idea why.
