I don't know much about the blood pressure & heart rate thing besides that when I was around 15yrs one doc put me on a heart medication to slow my heart rate down inconjuntion with a blood pressure medication to lower my pulse rate(don't remeber the names it's been 7yrs ago) during my CH's(which at that time were diagnosed as migraines). I remember twice a month I went to have my blood pressure checked while on the meds & because my natural blood pressure was so low in the first place it made my lips blue all the time & this didn't seem to be helping my CH's she took me off the meds.
Unlike some of you guys I HATE being cold. I can never seem to get warm enough. Something which is kinda strange dealing with body temp is that my mother says that when I was a baby she had to monitor my fevers real close or I would go into convulsions eventhough they never surpassed 102 & the at the emergency room they told her that my body just can't handle high temps. As an adult if I get even a low grade fever I'm on the couch feeling like I'm dying. I wonder if any of you all had similar experiences with fevers & such as adults or as a child?
As far as sleeping disorders both Donna & Karla summed it up for me 12+hours. Which I'm not sure it's a sleeping disorder or not.
