So early Dec. During my first round of treatment my bp was low like 90/57, then i was off treatment and started to feel better and my bp was 118/64... now at the dentist it was 90/59... has anyone else had bp changes?

yup. the first dr. who diagnosed me with lyme, said the borrelia makes your BP go down. My norm for a while was 90/50.... If yours went down again...do you feel like your relapsing?

Last time I got my BP checked it was 140/80. Does this rule out lyme, it seems like majority have low blood pressure

Well i normally have lower bp around 100/ 68, it was normal after treatment then i forgot add that Im on treatment again (zithro) I think Im' starting to herx again. Maybe thats causing the low bp

I wouldnt think it rules it out... I am sure it can mess everyrhing up, I believe Lyme is a cycle thing... so maybe it fluctuates?

Maybe, I was having pretty bad anxiety at the time, despite a HR of 47 bpm

Mine was sky high before I started treatment. Back to normal now.

Yes I agree, of course anxiety comes with lyme and that could mess with your bp too! I think lyme just basically makes everything unstable

I just started treatment in september and my BP is all over the place. anywhere from 70/60 to 260/180. My heart rate is crazy too.

I think unstable, be it higher than normal or lower than normal, would be safe to say for lyme & co, which includes before and after treatment.

The last several times I have had it checked while undergoing treatment, it has been 130/80 or 140/90 range.

Before treatment, it was much lower - 100 and 110/60.

Ya! It probably just depends on the person and maybe even the strain of Bb
