I thought I had cracked it - wrong! My GP asked me to take my bp over 6 weeks at home and after the first week of having borderline readings and pulse of 100 due to fear of machine I then got used to it and every day my reading/s were normal and pulse down to 70/80 so I hopped back to GP feeling really proud of myself and he said great we won't take it in surgery any more. So I thought my bp is fine and stopped taking it every day. THEN my ectopics went haywire and kept having a racing heart this last week and getting into panic mode and today I thought I will take my bp and soon as I got hold of machine my heart was racing fit to burst and I got reading of 132/94 pulse 86 so still okayish but I stupidly thought I will take it again and by then really stressing and I should not have done that as it was by then 135/106 and pulse 100 eeekkkkkkk.
My lovely husband just laughed and said - well it proves a point that as soon as you feel panicked up it goes with your pulse.
Obviously getting used to the machine helped my readings so I feel I am back to square one again and will take bp every day now and see if it improves again.
