Hi Germantara

Don’t be so hard on yourself and disheartened, you have had a lovely day apart from this . You are doing well with your oxygen levels and today you felt good. That’s brilliant news. Keep doing what makes you feel good

Could it be that, your blood pressure changed when the nurse told you about the aero chamber. You possibly became apprehensive because you have been, so used to just using the trimbow on its own. Like when people have white coat syndrome , which causes blood pressure to rise.

Try not to even think about the aero chamber ( it might work out better for you) and stay calm when doing your blood pressure, think happy thoughts. Hopefully it will all be ok. Please don’t let it spoil your day. Sending hugs 🥰

Hi Germantara

Make sure you stay calm when taking your reading or, they could appear to be higher than they are,

Shame you had your day spoiled.

I have low Blood Pressure and reading can be up and down, They jiggle my medication about at times.

Don't worry about "whining" we all do that from time to time. I got fed up having inhalers changed, so when nurse asked me to have trimbow - I politely said no thank you, Fostair suits me fine.

Lets hope you start tomorrow, like you started today.

No need to let one thing get you down, look at the positives of the day, you’ll get your blood pressure sorted once you’ve done the readings , stay positive 💐🌺🌷 xx

Same happened to me exactly a week ago, had to take blood pressure reading at home for 7 days. Have an appointment today to probably have medication tweaked. The appointment was originally booked to talk about my asthma peak flow readings (which aren't the best).Was initially bothered but now thankful that these things come to light and can be treated.

Have a good day all🙏

Thankyou you are definitely right

Don't worry too much about blood pressure. It does tend to go up and down. My doctor put me on 'a little pill' (his words) which has brought mine a treat. xxx

bless you. Your day seemed mostly good. You’ve had some good advice about keeping calm especially for when blood pressure is being taken. X
