Blood pressure and chest discomfort

Good evening, firstly, I feel perfectly fine.

However, I’ve been having this weird feeling in the middle of chest, a sort of prickly discomfort, so I decided to check my blood pressure. It’s usually about 125/80 but this morning it was 148/88 and I just checked again and it was 159/93. I’ll get to the doctors eventually but should I give this more urgency?

Keep an eye on your bp over the next couple of days.If it remains raised, a trip to the GP would be a good plan. Try to relax though as stress is no friend to a healthy bp is it? Hope you feel better soon.
