(Stimulants)Rise in heartrate but blood pressure is normal

[dankhead88]

So, whenever I take amphetamines, I tend to have faster heartrate(duh), however my blood pressure isn't dramatically increased. Is this normal? Is there anything I should worry about?
Systolic 118-124 Diastolic 77-83 is what I normally get when I've been on a meth binge. Even with the combination of caffeine. Heart rate is normally 105-140 though, but blood pressure doesn't ever get out of hand.

Even in the past when I've used propylhexedrine. I've actually had lower blood pressure. Systolic around 110-115 and Diastolic around 70-75 as I recall.

And you're worried about what exactly?

lol, I just suppose it's odd. Everyone I've met had an increase in blood pressure, but it just doesn't seem normal to have blood pressure like that. I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar experience. I mean after all. amphetamines and other stimulants are known to dramatically increase blood pressure, right?

It could be lack of food and drink. But unless your BP is actually lowering or you're experiencing discomfort I would be happy about that.

It's something you need to take up with a doctor.

Your heart and body's response to substances can be weird, subjective to mood, dose and environment.

Wait, what? Why you need to take it up with your doctor that you aren't experiencing an unwanted side effect of a drug? Just because something is a common side effect doesn't mean there is something wrong if you don't experience it. I would be happy personally.

I don't see anything to be worried about in having a normal blood pressure on stimulants, or even a slightly low one (as long as it's in healthy range of course). Drugs affect different people very differently. Am I missing something?

Because he posed a question why and I don't know if he has a medical condition or a family history of heart disease.

I'm no cardiologist, therefore if he wants to know the exact answer to his question, then he should see one. Drugs affect people differently, but in my opinion that is not an answer you can settle on a question dealing with the heart and other vital organs.

^I still don't understand why someone would need to take it up with their doctor that they aren't experiencing an unwanted side effect of a drug? I don't see how not getting an unwanted and unhealthy side effect from a drug would imply something could be wrong with you. It's not abnormal or worrisome to not get high blood pressure from stimulants. My blood pressure doesn't seem to go up from certain stimulants I've taken either and from the studies I've read, a moderate dose of most stimulants taken by a person with normal blood pressure only raises blood pressure in some people and only by a few percent at most.
