As my kids get older, I watch their blood pressure drop. Slowly but surely. And I watch mine go up. I use to be 94/64 on the average when going to the doctor’s office. Now it is more likely to be 110/77 or higher. Every once in a while mine will do down. Those are the nights I need my hubby next to me or an electric blanket near by. You just can’t get warm by yourself. You aren’t generating enough heat. You need an outside force. Even wrapping up in more clothing or covers doesn’t work… you aren’t generating the heat. I must remember to tell my kids about this as they seem to be going in the low blood pressure direction. Sucks to be cold and not be able to get warm.

I used to think being cold was miserable until I started having hot flashes and night sweats. I want to be cold again. Being hot sucks.
I have low blood pressure… more on the low side. Of course the hot flashes when I sleep seem to even it out.
But there are days when it is 90 degrees and I cannot get warm…
I dread going through the change… I’m use to being cold.
I do the low blood pressure/freezing thing too. Sucks. Especially since I have enough body fat to insulate me. Doesn’t make sense.
