Earlier tonight I had BP readings of 170/ 100 .. but later as I calmed down ... 119/79 .. so don't get anxious .. I suggest BP readings once a week rather than chasing results! Does that sound about right? If you get anxious chasing results BP is higher.
My BP was high at the surgery, so I was asked to monitor it for a week, twice in the morning, and twice in the evening, and average the results. A few of the readings were high, but the average was ok. The lesson seems to me to be that a one-off reading is not that helpful. I don't know what others have found.
