My cardio said last week that my erratic BP readings were ok as they averaged out ok. She told me to keep off the BP meds (as I was getting hypotension), which I have for a few months now but as I've had 2 TIA's this year and a stroke but they can't say when, I'm a bit concerned about the days when my BP is high. When I was in her office it was 182 but she said it was white coat syndrome and she wouldn't listen. Anyway I was told to see my GP if I felt ill and BP high, which I did and she gave me 5mg amdropoline (spelling) to take. So this morning I wake up with bad headache, and I had very bad pain come & go just blow my left shoulder blade. I took a BP pill but two hours later it was at 180/120-104 at rest (I'm almost bed ridden) so I get told to go see out of hours doctor at hospital and there it was 175 over something and told me to take the pills for a week. Three hours later my BP is 112/70, I feel very ill.
