Fluctuating readings

[exDancer]

I do know that BP varies throughout the day, and from day to day, but I'm puzzled.

I no longer take medication for my BP but I still take a reading every morning and this morning it was 119/75 with a pulse rate of 65.

Yesterday it was 129/81, pulse 72.

The day before that it was 158/100, pulse 95

(usually its around 130/80)

Why this variation in systolic pressure? I don't want to bother my GP as she's always in such a hurry she's reaching for her prescription pad as I walk through the door.

Hi.

From my point of view, I think your b/pressure is excellent, I would love those readings.

As for the one off high reading, some people get "one offs" perhaps you didn't sit/relax long enough before taking it,? I don't think there is much variation in your systolic, apart from the one off reading. just my opinion.

If you have ever taken your blood pressure after taking excercise or even laughing a lot, you will see that it goes up and down all day, so it's good to take a regular measurement and see what the pattern is. Yours seems pretty good overall and it looks like that one measurement when you were high you were a bit excited about something.
