That's a totally different story when you are on antihypertensive drugs. They are there to modulate all your BP control systems and I am not surprised that you are getting these episodes. Might be good to have your medicine reviewed by your doctor.justD wrote:I've suffered from high BP for many years. I'm on 3 BP pills, one being a water pill and my doctor and I are now collecting stats to see if we should reduce my medication.

The other symptom I've noticed is my lips feel sort of numb/tingly. For me these symptoms don't last for days though, they generally go away a few hours after the ride. If it's only for a short period after the ride, then maybe dehydration is involved. My symptoms seemed to stay for a few days and matches with what's described in the study pretty well. All very interesting.philip wrote:Yeah I've had those symptoms a couple of times after long rides when I really push myself hard - not recently though, so maybe my body is getting used to it

had your BP checked lately?...could be lowsogood wrote:The classic symptom being dizziness/visual blackouts on standing quickly from sitting or lying positions
BP is fine but just when standing up suddenly. As described by the quoted papers, it's likely to do with the altered regulatory responses following hard exercises. Human physiology is very interesting.JV911 wrote:had your BP checked lately?...could be lowsogood wrote:The classic symptom being dizziness/visual blackouts on standing quickly from sitting or lying positions

Maybe we are the real "Trained men can run, but they cannot stand".Parrott wrote:I have had these symtoms on postural change as you describe intermittently since teenage years (40 now), never actually passed out, been close on a few occaisions though, dizzy momentarily seeing stars etc. I have noticed it the next day after a hard workout though I don't think the overall incidence has increased with my cycling. BP is fine by the way.

It should be noted, though that this is a bit different, in that it's talking about people who already have orthostatic intolerance. So in THOSE cases, you would expect that exercise would benefit them. I believe we are actually talking about those who don't have it to start with.Our data demonstrate that endurance exercise training leads to an improvement of symptoms in the majority of patients with orthostatic intolerance. Therefore, we suggest that endurance training should be considered in the treatment of orthostatic intolerance patients.
Yes, as I already commented in the original post, there seemed to be conflicting effects of endurance training on this symptom. But good point that this particular study relates to those who already have the symptom.colafreak wrote:It should be noted, though that this is a bit different, in that it's talking about people who already have orthostatic intolerance.

Orthostatic hypotension is a perfectly normal physiological response, even in normal individuals. But in my case, training has potentiated the phenomenon.Mulger bill wrote:I'm in about the same boat as Parrott, couldn't say whether it changed after I restarted riding tho'. It's always on standing up for me.
