Blood pressure

[Madyy]

Hi all hope we are having a good day

Had a phone call from my Dr today because of this dizziness

She’s seeing me in clinic tomorrow

She said going to do a ecg and take bloods, Iv not had any done well since 2020 I think, I go every 6 weeks for my warfarin and that’s been ok

So, right leg been swelling but I seen about that in the warfarin clinic

I’m wearing a compression sock only on my right side leg, because ever since my AVR I have had to cut my right shoe to wear that shoe

So told her all this

I take blood pressure tablets one 50mg Losartan per night

And in the day I take 2.5 bisoprolol

In the day

I have never taken my blood pressure at home my friend took my blood pressure tonight on her machine it was 178/94 so looks like high blood pressure So I’m so glad I’m getting sorted by the Gp tomorrow I am putting everything down to my anxiety but I’m so glad I posted on here and I am having support I hope I get sorted and please please post up if this can happen or if it has happened to others and if are you guys now sorted big hugs

Anxiety may well put your blood pressure up, but it's good that you are getting to see your GP. I hope they are able to help you.

A single high BP reading may be put down to anxiety but good that you are seeing your doctor, good luck.

I always take the average of 3. The first reading is always higher than the others for some reason.

Remember anxiety can raise BP so it may well be raised at he doctor's. Your GP may want several readings over a week or so to get an average.. I have a home BP monitor so I take mine twice a day while resting for a week before I see my GP because he knows it will be high when I get here. ( White coat syndrome). BP shouldn't be treated on the basis of just one reading.

HiQualipop

Yeah that’s me today white coat lol

Machine on order today from Amazon getting a wrist one and the main machine might as well lol me anxiety and blood pressure not a good look I dry heaving with my mask on I’m sure not a good look I just sit there at the Drs, because it’s do a runner but I will say only 5 on seats today and I was first in

So done the lot today, anxiety out for a walk half hour no wonder I got high blood pressure lol, no on a serious note I’m so glad I went to see about these dizzy spells and if any of you guys are getting dizziness out of the blue like me saves black outs Which I used to get before my AVR

IT SEEMS to be blood pressure even though I’m on beta blocker and blood pressure tablets don’t want to damage any more of my self so I’m taking this seriously I’m not over weight but I’m not fit so I’m going to step up my fitness well what I can do as fitness better to do something than let my anxiety win today is a good day for me hope the same for everyone one day at a time hey

Thank you for your good advise

all support appreciated…big hugs
