Hi Melissa,

Everytime I get my blood pressure taken its always high. The nurses always laugh when they see me coming cos they know whats gonna happen. Same when I get my blood taken they can never find a vein strong enough. The main thing is you feel better in yourself and surely thats the most important thing hun.

Take Care

hi and welcome to the forum. im sure the symptoms are just due to anxiety, try not to focus on your heart rate and do something to distract yourself.

hope that helps

Hi Potts glad to hear that you're feeling better, i do too. B.P is measurement of blood pumping so if you,re anxious it will be slightly raised.
Take care love Matilda

Hi Potts,

I was shocked last week also, when i went for my BP taking, i had very high blood pressure and my pulse was 125, Luckly thanks to this site i was told about white coat syndrome ( a fear of going to the doctors and having your BP taken) I purchased a BP monitor from Llyods Chemist £9.99 and have been taking my BP at home where im relaxed. Thankfully all my readings have been normal, what a relief. Might be a good idea to take your BP at home also.

Hope that helps

Love

Hi Mandy

When my blood pressure is high my pulse is about 78/80 and when my pressure is normal my pulse is about 85/90 sure I dont know why, but I dont worry about it.

Take care
