We have a blood pressure monitor at home. Whenever I would test my blood pressure it would always be dangerously high, well above 130 diastolic and systolic at times I've had to have my mum hide it as I would always do it and get myself worked up about it. Everyone else's pressure was fine on the monitor too.
Whenever I go to the doctors, they always say that my blood pressure is fine and sometimes they even say it is "perfect".
This still worries me as I'm scared they've missed something out, or that if they done it later on in the day or something my blood pressure would be sky high :(.
Because of this, I now completely obsess over the amount of salt I eat in food. I have to check everything I eat and I've lost half a stone doing this. I was underweight as it is. I try to avoid medication that say that they could raise blood pressure, even stupid things like paracetamol.
I'm going to the doctor tomorrow as my anxiety is only getting worse, and I'm beginning to get panic attacks for no reason in particular. I'm hoping she will give me anti-depressants or something to help me :(
