In reply to MAO Midday Slump--Low Blood Pressure?, posted by Lorraine on August 29, 2001, at 13:58:24
Hi.
> Does anyone have any thoughts about the MAO midday slump?Well, if you experience this within an after eating, it might be an exaggeration of the normal sleepiness that many people experience. Parasympathetic stuff I guess.
Also, I think hours between 1:00 and 3:00 are normal "down-times". This is probably the impetus for the traditional siesta of the Spanish. I find 2:00 the absolute worst.
Your guess regarding low-blood pressure is a good one. While I was on Parnate, one of my doctors suggested that blood-pressure ebbs at about 4:00. I found this to be true. His suggestion was to drink a cup of coffee at this time. I found that it worked well.
That's about all I can think of.
