Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
This kind of goes along with T Al's http://www.early-retirement.org/forums/f38/blood-pressure-experiments-and-stategies-60360-5.html thread.
I did an interesting experiment this morning. I did a regular yoga session (self at home) ending with the recommended shavasana (corpse pose), and then I measured my blood pressure about 5 minutes after leaving my exercise room.
It was pretty low for me - 111/73, pulse 78. I am normally in the low 120s. I was kind of surprised as I hadn't seen a reading like that in a long time.
Then, 1 1/2 hours later, I decided to measure it again just for a lark. I had been sitting in my lounge chair doing some work on my computer.
It measured 103/67 with pulse 67. I don't think I've ever measured it that low! I thought this was an interesting outcome - especially a delayed drop. I was also surprised my pulse had gotten down that low.
I think I might start tracking BP on mornings I do yoga versus mornings I do something else. Interesting!
