I just found out when I was in AF in July and spent 5 days in hospital my BNP was 2350

Shocked to find that out today

It’s currently 484 so it shows how it can change so if anyone is high currently it’s possible to reduce it by beta blockers

It also shows how AF can distort the reading

This is a good example that beta blockers can work I hope your BP continues to be stable :-) x
