Hello everyone. I've been having this problem for months now, ever since my nan had a stroke.
We had to buy a blood pressure monitor to monitor her blood pressure at home. We would all use it though, but everyone else's bp would be fine except mine, which would be VERY high. Both numbers well over 100, I had nearly 300 at one point... I just found it strange that this would only be high on me! I got other people to put it on me too and the same would happen.
I've never been to the doctors specifically about this, as I'm scared they'll laugh at me and send me out. But every time I've been and they've checked my blood pressure it's been 80/60 or a little lower. They normally say it's "perfect". The highest it's been while having it done by a nurse/doctor was about 120/60 but that was during a major panic attack where I was up A&E.
So yes, ever since I used that home blood pressure monitor I've been worrying like hell due to the fact that it was so high, on top of having a fear of strokes :(. It's been ruling my life ever since! I don't know wether to go to the doctor and tell them about it, or ignore it??? Any advice would great.
