Doctor's Visit Eye Pressure

Submitted by dsaito on Thu, 06/05/2008 - 2:38pm

I went to the eye doctor to have an eye exam. Was a bit apprehensive my results would be higher than at home. Doctor proceeded to tell me I wouldn't do what you are doing, etc. Did not enjoy the visit at all!

9:00am- 10:30am At Doctor's office - Pressure 20/21 (GAT)

10:45 am At home after doctor visit 20/20.
2:42 pm At home working on computer 14.7/13.7
4:00pm Working on computer /ate a bannana 15.7/15.3
5:05pm After intense workout- 30 min workout 12.7/12.7

10:30pm 12.7/13

The following morning upon arising my pressure was higher at:

19.3/20.3

I am finding the following patterns with regards to my pressure:

1) Always higher in the morning 19-20.

2) By the time I go to bed around11:00pm, it always seem to be around 12-13.

3) Pressure goes down gradually as the day goes by.

4) I can get my pressure down immediately in the morning by doing pushups, etc. However, I need to do further research to see if it stays low throughout the day. I find you don't have to do a long workout. Just 35 pushups can make a huge difference.

5) I have some work to do to keep the pressure lower while I sleep. This seems to be where the pressure creeps up and I can't do pushups in my sleep.
