Now what

[Jodz]

Felt shivery, thumping headache , burning eyes and all achy all day came home at 1.30 pm from work and felt dreadful as if getting the flu . Went out side about 4.30 felt like I was going to pass out , really unsteady on my feet came back inside thought I would check my bp 155/95 and kept going up within 15 mins went up to 189/100. The whole time I was really sweating bad which has never happened before but my heart rate only went up to 92 ? Felt very neasueas as well .???????

Is it a coincidence that your BP shot up when you checked it? Making yourself feel worse by constantly checking and worrying. You have a cold or flu, don't go overboard about it its a common thing. Go do something about it, lemsip etc, take action!

Jimpton i wouldn't say it's the flu , just feels like I'm getting something . But I knew my bp was spiking cause of my symptoms .

Hi susannaylor I'm 51 yo . I have woken this morning and not to bad just feel a bit flat and just not right but no cough . But why would my bp do that and spike so high ?

[susannaylor in reply to Jodz]

Hello jodz x glad your feeling a little better this morning x but when you take take your blood pressure have you eaten before you've taken pressure x because it can go up higher x when you do it again do it just before you've eaten breakfast x all through the day your blood pressure changes x but give thus a try x but try not to focus on doing this all the time x it does seem a little higher than normal but it all depends on what you have been doing x I'm 64 x and I've had lots of feelings and things going on x but then again I use to put it down to my change x perhaps this us what your going x let me know how you get on x

You need to sit for ten minutes before taking your blood pressure, no eating, talking if you can help it, you have to be totally calm if possible.

[Jodz in reply to Hidden]

Jimtom Yes I do sit for 5 mins , still and quiet . But I can feel it going up . As I explained to susannaylor , it's weird .

[Hidden in reply to Jodz]
