In addition, I have always had EXTREMELY low
blood pressure, as does my whole family. My entire life my BP has been 80/60. When I was in labor, on Pitocin and another induction medication, with NOTHING for pain, it elevated to approx. 110/75, which was by FAR the highest it has ever been.
Today, the automatic BP machine registered my blood pressure as 153/118. I am not under stress (I have a high stress job, but love it).
