So I saw my doc in December and had high BP. He asked me to follow it for a month and then go back.
I bought a monitor. Over the month I took it every few days. My average came down from 145 to 123.
I told this to him, and he took My BP there. It was 141 over 100 (which is actually good, last time it was 155 over 105 so I did reduce my fear).
He wants me to bring in the monitor to check it. If it matches his machine he will trust it. If not, I exercise, etc.. for 3 months and go back. If it is still high, medication.
This has bummed me out. I am now very worried the machines won't match. Heck, I get fluctuations of 10 pts all the time. Then he won't believe it, and I will take medication that I possibly don't need!
