Now my blood pressure and heart rate are high. Think its related to my head condition. I will ring 111 on monday if it continues. So for now i will keep an eye on it.

I'm really not good at the moment at all. And its one thing after another lately!

Take care , if you are checking and taking some readings as well that’s helpful, I did this for a couple of weeks as my BP was high so now on tablets which are working well for me. Chilly here in Suffolk but the Suns out 😀not doing much as I’d like but the fibro body is out of charge today xx

would change the batteries on machine, before ringing anyone, bah technology.

blood pressure monitors always hurt me, moving and talking during the reading also affects.

if in pain, worrying, or upset that raises the heart rate and bp as well.

is there anything can do to relax? read a book, craft, or enjoy a nice cuppa,

Sun bathe with thermals on
