Fibro and high blood pressure

Hi everyoneI'm after some advice.

Recently went to my new GP surgery for an NHS health check. Nurse did my BP a couple of times but it was a little high.

I've now had to come away, get my own machine so that I can monitor my BP for a week to give them a baseline!

I did try to make her aware I have fibro in case it skewed the readings but don't think she even listened or gave it any consideration.

I've seen several studies about a correlation between raised BP and fibro.

I was wondering what my fellow fibro sufferers had experienced and if I'm right in my thinking.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this
