BP check

The nurse came to check my BP today. First since my 3rd drug was added. Although I've had a stressful morning, my reading was 150/80. 😊

Sorry no one replied poemsgalore1.How high was your bp originally? I'm glad it has come down, that is really reassuring.

170/94 which I know isn't too high compared to some. But I have so many complicated health conditions it's good my GP and other consultants are keeping their eyes open. My mum had 2 serious strokes, the 2nd caused her death.

How are you keeping? Well, I hope. 😘
