When I went to urgent care yesterday to get the head wound checked my BP was 156/94. When I've been picked up by EMTs during/after seizures my BP has been elevated to similar levels. I take a BP med, Atenolol, and it usually works, so I am wondering, is this a post ictal thing? Do others have this happen? Also, my pulse rate is often increased up to around 100 give or take. Perhaps it is white coat syndrome or effects of the injuries from falling?
Just wondering. Full of questions as usual after a seizure, I guess. I've been doing some research on the epidemiology of epilepsy, which I find very interesting, but I can't seem to comprehend the mechanisms of the episodes themselves. My profession is grant writing and research, so in my spare time I can't seem to help but research this right now. When I looked up the high blood pressure and post seizure, it went right over my head. Way too technical. I get a lot more answers here! I just wish I could provide some answers.
