Hi Everyone,
I haven't been feeling too well for a couple of weeks. Typical anxiety symptoms, but last night I ended up at A&E because I felt quite poorly. I have had a sore upper back which resulted in me ending up short of breath. I had all the usual tests done last night, ECG, bloods, x-ray, etc., and everything was fine but my blood pressure was 211/185!!
I've had problems with blood pressure for a few months now. It's been on average about 185/100. My GP noticed that it was higher than it should be, but didn't say that it needed to be monitored or anything. However, last night at A&E the doctor told me that it was really high and needed looking at.
Does anyone else have problems with their blood pressure like this? I know it is still high now because I'm still breathless and feeling pretty crappy. As I've already said this has been going on for months. How long should it take before my GP takes action and does something about it?
