AMG raised the topic of circulation.
Can I ask a question that I have been meaning to ask the specialists for twelve years?
My heartbeat is 54 beats a minute and my mothers was exactly the same. All her and my life we have suffered from bad circulation. I feel the cold incredibly, I have spent my life at school and work sitting next to radiators. In the summer the
feeling the heat is nearly as bad.My mother had a simple logic to explain her condition, that her heart beat slower than other peoples so it took longer for oxygen, warmth and nutriments to gets to her tissues and organs and this explained all the problems she had.
My question is simply, do people with Neuromuscular conditions have lower heartrates and is this and bad circulation
a factor in their conditions ?"Even if you are not paranoid, it does not mean they are not out to get you!".
December 4, 2010 at 4:18 pm #78005Re: 54I have had a high heart rate for as long as I can remember. I recall one Science lesson when we were asked to record various measurements and I was always the odd one out and messed up the class averages. My blood pressure is usually on the low side.

December 4, 2010 at 5:21 pm #78006Re: 54I have a normal heart rate, high blood pressure and a low temperature, , we know now that if my B.P. drops to normal something is brewing and a normal reading for temperature in me is a fever and I usually end up in hospital due to an underlying infection
Oh this rotten body and its quirks…..December 5, 2010 at 8:31 pm #78007Re: 54Thanks for the feedback listers.
My theories have all gone out of the window.
No links to slow circulation.
It just shows Neuromuscular conditions are Rare, Complex and Variable.

December 7, 2010 at 11:01 am #78009Re: 54my blood gases are always normal, better than your average “healthy person” since I started using my vent. but I have always suffered from bad circulation particulary in my ears, hands and feet. my legs can be warm(ish) to just bellow the knee then they drop in temp down to my purple blackish toes.
My heart rate & BP is also low but as soon as I move about it goes the otherway and races making me too warm (everywhere apart from feet) It was sugested that I may also have reynoids but the problem with treating reynoids is that the meds speed up the heart rate to push the blood to the toes. but this push up my heart rate even when resting.
dont want to mess about with heart drugs as my heart tests seems ok. so at the minute Im sticking with foot massage and a nice warm cat on them
I do find that if I cut my feet they take a long time to heal.
Is anyone very aware of their heart when in bed at night???

yes my toes look the same when they are cold

Same here!

I have been recently and also notice it after I have eaten.
