| Blood pressure and trumpet playing Have any of you ever used a BP monitor to check your BP before and after playing your horn? I have and find that my BP goes WAYYYYYY high when I'm playing. I even waited 10-minutes and still found it to be elevated. I'd love to know if any of you have ever monitored your BP before, during (within minutes after stopping), and after playing. |

| Fortissimo User | Re: Blood pressure and trumpet playing I was recently diagnosed with extreme hypertension. I'm afraid to check after playing! (but now that I've been on meds for a couple of months I'm getting down into the 90's consistently... you don't want to know what it was before!) Actually, I asked my doctor if playing the trumpet would be hazardous and he replied "only if it's played badly". Score one for him. But what does he know? He plays piano. |

| Re: Blood pressure and trumpet playing I'm certain that mine would be fine; however I have noticed that when I try for High C and above other parts of me try to implode! |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Blood pressure and trumpet playing A couple of years ago, I was playing the Hummel concerto. The first movement went great, the first couple bars of the second movement were normal and then I started to shake - the kind when you get nervous. By deep breathing and a lot of concentration, I finished off the rest. Only my wife noticed and asked what happened. I didn't know and went to the doctor the next day, got on the bicycle and what do you know - 215 over 150! She then wired up some long term measurment device and I had a rehearsal that night. Same numbers.......... Turns out my sleep apnea and boss were doing a job on my health. The boss is now an ex boss, the CPAP maschine and a little pill every day handles the rest. My BP still goes up when I play, but then trumpet playing is a lot of work! |
