Hi all,
I hope someone can put me right about high BP.
I haven't been on here for a while as I have been better with my HA and also my husband has been poorly. He has been diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes and has high BP.
He bought a monitor to keep a check and he took my BP which was high. I have never had high BP before so it scared me a bit. Then I took it again a few days later and it was up even higher again. That made me feel even more scared.
I woke up last night for the loo and started to think about it and also felt ill. Hot, sickly, shaky fuzzy head etc. I was terrified my heart was going to fail or I would have a stroke. I took a diazepam but it didn't help that much.
Is it normal to have high readings for a few days and is it ok just to live with it or is It dangerous? I'm really worried that my fuzzy head means a stroke. I'm at the docs tomorrow but scared he'll say its bad.
Any info would be a great help.
