High blood pressure

Started the Leflunomine last week, had my blood pressure checked by nurse doing my blood tests. Was told it was too high so spoke to the rheumy nurses who told me to monitor it over the weekend. Didn't go down but went up so saw my gp who put me on tablets to reduce it. Have my first group physio appointment tomorrow and am apprehensive as am having a flare at the moment,asked if I could change the date but was told no as its low impact I would be fine. Hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather,it's nice to be able to sleep without the fan. 😴

I am on Leflunomide and have high blood pressure. Since going on blood pressure tablets it has come down really well.
