Hi all
This is very strange but my BP has gone down to 119 over 68 and my head is starting to feel normal. Possibly it's a virus, I'll wait and see how things go.
Can't wait to get back to exercise.
Stay safe and well all.

Thank you Jennymary, I hope it does.🙏🌈😊
You could be right there cf about a virus, they do strange things to our bodies. Hope the bp stays normal. 🤞xx
in reply to springcross
Thank you and it's definitely a possibility, they really do do strange things. xx🌈😊
That's good. I am glad things are getting better. 🙂🌸
in reply to Marnie22
Thank you. I'm taking daily readings, one morning the other afternoon and if it continues like that I'll get advice from the doctor to see if I need an appointment, it could just be a virus.🙏🌈🤞
Had your doctor suggested medication for the blood pressure? I’ve been on medication for a long time (13 years old-present).
I’m on BP med too, it was a nightmare getting it prescribed by my GP, which certainly did’nt help.
I was put on medication when I was 13 years old and was seeing a Nephrologist at the time.

She has but just wanted to keep an eye on me first Leah. My hubby's been on them for a few years. I'm hoping t may be some kind of weird virus.🙏🌈

Watching is a good idea. When is the next appointment?
in reply to Activity2004
I've taken it twice today and it's still down. I'm going to phone the surgery tomorrow to speak to the doctor and get her advice.

I take it once a day at breakfast and it helps the rest of the day.
in reply to Activity2004
That's good that you keep such a close eye on it.👍🌈😊🙏

This is good news Alicia, blood pressure does fluctuate though out the day, it's when our readings are persistently high, this is when it's worrying. A couple of years ago my BP was 200/110, they started me on medication. It's well controlled now but if I'm down with a virus or unwell, it can still shoot up quite high. It runs in my family unfortunately. 👍🌸
in reply to bobbybobb
It certainly does, I'm checking mine in the morning and evening. My head is still fuzzy which is weird but the blood pressure has come down, it was 129 over 71 this morning.
Oh my goodness Bobby, your's was exceptionally high, my mum's was like that years ago when she had a knee replacement.
I do think this may be a virus, I initially thought it was IBS but clearly it's not.
I'm so glad your's is now under control with medication. My dad had a major heart attack when he was around 78 and my mum died suddenly of an aortic aneurysm, she ate very little and was fit but loved all the very high fat foods like cream.🙏🌈😊
Hi Alicia...... good to hear your blood pressure is down, I take Ramperil for my high blood pressure...... maybe soon, you can get back up on the mountains, looking out from the trig points, I do so miss that 😀🌈🌹
in reply to Veteran250
Thank you Don. My husband takes tablets which are called Amlodipine.
I can't wait to get back to the exercise and like you I love the mountains. Life goes by I'm the blink of an eye so we really must make the most of it.
Thinking of you Don.
Take care 🙏😊🌈
Thank you🙏🌈
Thank you Jerry. In a way it's a good job my head still isn't right otherwise I know myself too well and would be iff to the gym.
I will thank you.🌈🙏😊👍
Pleased to hear your Blood pressure is getting back to normal . Re getting back to exercise have you thought about swimming and water aerobics just as an alternative until you’re back to the more vigorous stuff . I find the water relaxing and it does help with general fitness . I know some Gyms do have a pool for members to use .
in reply to Vailea
Thank you. I agree swimming is a good idea, unfortunately my gym doesn't have one, I may also go for a walk.
I've tested the blood pressure again today twice and it's still good so I'm pleased.
Thank you for your reply.
Alicia 🌈🙏
My blood pressure gets down to 105 sometimes - I hope they will turn up my pacemaker next week!
in reply to S11m
Mine has come down again today.👍
That's an encouraging sign Alicia. I know you'll be itching to get back to your exercise but best to make sure the trend is towards lower, before you resume. Glad you're feeling better anyway!
in reply to
Thank you Sue and it's still down today and my head feels just about back to normal, could have been a virus. I'm going to see if I can speak to her tomorrow to get her advice.🙏🌈🙏
So glad to hear that you are feeling a lot better today. 🤞❤️🙏🌈

Thank you 🌈🙏👍

Some years ago I was known to have low BP; Then it went up and I was put on medication. Later it was found to be stress causing it, and now it's relatively stable without medication. Hope it works out for you.
Cheers, Midori
in reply to Midori
It's a guessing game isn't it. I've never had high blood pressure until this week but I'm glad it's going down and my head is better. I'm pleased for you that yours has levelled out.
Thanks
Alicia 🌈🙏👍
