this week my spasms have increased a bit, eventhough i've been stretching and taking my baclofen. my bp is low 4 some reason, can the lack of blood flow increase spasms? i've been drinking lots of water and wearing binder and teds, don't know why my bp is low. i haven't felt like im gonna pass out but i feel lightheaded.

It's funny.. I keep hearing about low BP and increased spasms from baclofen users.. I'm starting to wonder about that "drug".

Well, if your blood pressure is lower than normal it has to be for a reason. If you have lowered blood pressure and increased spasticity, it's more likely that there is a root cause rather than the BP causing the spasticity.

Perhaps it's your body trying to tell you it's fighting an infection, or a cold, or whatever. Personally at the onset of a UTI I usually get more spastic.

Well, my point was that perhaps your body is fighting something that you are unaware of right now. Lots of people start getting more spastic with things as simple as weather change, or the onset of a cold. Your BP is lowered for a reason, and my bet is that if you find out that reason, then perhaps you'll find out what is responsible for the increased spasticity.
