Mine this evening, at 21:30:

66

139/89

35.7
My heart rate is 96 at 11:50 am.
Always had a fast pulse.  Used to have low blood pressure but not anymore.  It tends to go up as one ages.  It'd help if I lost 10 lbs, also.  Temp generally a degree or two lower than average.
I've got a fast hart rate, low blood pressure and low body temperature.

That used to describe me, but, whilst my temperature has stayed low, my heart rate has dropped as my blood pressure has risen.

Sorry I didn't do any measurement last night. I fell asleep! Rolleyes

I wasn't able to do this before, my pulse rate can vary between very slow & very fast for no particular reason..so I had to vote for both, the ECG is normal..that's what matters.

Just now
BP -------118 / 72
Pulse-----60
temp------35.7

I'll take them at a better time from now on.
I have normal blood pressure/pulse but my temperature usually runs about a degree lower than most people's (even during the day).
Similar time as before:-

BP -------120 / 68
Pulse-----64
temp------36
Heart rate:69
Blood pressure: normally about 115/60 but sometimes it rapidly goes down as low as 90/35
Temperature:36.4.
I'll ad some numbers too, I didn't do that yet... The last time I checked my blood pressure it was 101/70, and my temperature is around 36.
My heart rate has always seemed a bit higher than average - typically around 75 to 80 beats per minute. I had a problem about 3 or 4 months ago when I would have a rapid heartbeat at night which made it difficult for me to sleep, but luckily that hasn't happened for quite a while now.

I don't have the equipment to measure my blood pressure, but the last time I went to the doctor's my blood pressure was normal - he didn't tell me the exact numbers though.

I haven't actually had my temperature taken for many years, however I do know that I feel the cold more easily than most people, so I guess my temperature is lower than average.
In bed this morning:

BP 117/91
HR 59
Temperature 36

When I was younger my blood pressure was very low and I had a resting heart rate of around 90 beats per minute. But then again, in those days I had a BMI around 17, now it's 23.
My blood pressure is so low that I have convulsions alot, so they put me on a medication to raise my blood pressure

sh*t... my BMI is 16 i think i should eat more or something

I also have a history of being told I was somatizing from doctors.It wasn't until I was able to get some of my symptoms under control,like this year,and some of the information about autism and immune disease tricked down to mainstream doctors,that I was able to be taken seriously.
So I am VERRY touchy about this stuff.


Doctors can be such idiots - I was told same thing when in reality I had chronic fatigue due in part to food allergies

So what's the point of this thread? Is it just good old fashioned obsessive-compulsion, or are there others here with a history of heart failure  ?As someone who has a history of heart failure,stretching back to Rheumatic Fever as a child,and has nearly died of it more than once,it's not something to make light of.

So does anybody else here have a history of one acute infection after another? For me,2007 was a return to my childhood/teenage years/twenties,I have been sick for the past seven months,first with streptococcal meningitis,followed by a septic blood infection,followed by reactivated RF.

There is an element out there,in both the medical community,and among so-called "autism activists",who want to deny the coexistence of autism,with immune disease.I take this sort of stuff very seriously.For me,immune disease is a BIIIIIGGG part of what it means to be autistic.Just as much as elopement,destructive behavior,and headbanging is.I also have a history of being told I was somatizing from doctors.It wasn't until I was able to get some of my symptoms under control,like this year,and some of the information about autism and immune disease tricked down to mainstream doctors,that I was able to be taken seriously.

To answer your question.

The point of the thread was the result of quite a few members noticing that they had low temps, BP, or pulse, so it was decided to have a poll in order to see if this is a common occurrence amongst  our AS community.

One of our members has a rare heart condition & many others have autoimmune conditions / diseases.

Many of us have been subject to the somatizing label, it does appear to go with the territory.
