High blood pressure, what should I do???

[BoBo]

Hi ladies would love some advice please?!

My bp is normally 105/65 or 110/70
At my MW app yesterday it had risen to 124/84 and she seemed very concerned and told us to go to hospital, she continued with my routine check up and then took it again and it was down to 116/76 and she seemed happier with this but said I had to go back in one week rather than two to have it checked again but in the meantime go straight to hospital if I got headaches etc

My wee was absolutely fine btw

I've just checked my bp again after a day of chilling out and it's 137/87 (that's the lowest reading I got) made OH take his and his was only 124

What should I do???

I wrote pretty much the same thread the other day!! My BP is always 100/70 or 110/70 but at my last MW appointment it was 130/88. I have to go back next week to re-check but no protein in my wee (as yet).

I have checked on my Dad's machine a couple of times and it has come down to 123/76 and 123/78. I have come to the conclusion now that my BP can just shoot up due to higher blood volumes than before

Really try and not worry, I know its easier said than done, but worrying isn't going to help. Try and drink loads of water. I've also been trying to eat alot better than I have been, cutting down on my salt intake and eating more fruit and fibre etc.

Hope you manage to keep it down

High blood pressure runs in my family and Ive taken heart medication for 14 years. Think I have a just a teensy bit of knowledge about blood pressure levels.

Google is your friend if I'm an idiot.

what and that qualifies you to be a doctor on everyones personal health? your comment was "stupid" and i stand by it!

I have open heart surgery and also due another one for replacement heart valve and ascending aorta ... so when my BP us 128/80 (that is classed as "bad" for me) so everyone has there own level of BP which means it is high for them or not

so ...... that teensy bit of knowledge .... just flew out the window hun!! CONVO DONE!!!!!!!!!
