My doctor suggested that i get a home blood pressure machine, which i will be buying this weekend. he wants me to monitor it for 3-4 weeks taking 4-5 measurements a week so that we can see if this is a consistant thing. although this morning i had a very scary experience -- i felt like i was going to pass out for like an hour. very weak out of nowhere and clamy skin. it felt horrible! I think that since i've been on effexor, my appetite is low and i don't eat as much or as regularly. it felt like i just needed to eat, but couldn't stand up for fear that i would fall over. eventually i did eat and after a while felt just fine. i am still a little shaky over the experience though -- i thoughout i was having a heart attack or something! thanks for the posts.
