Well ... saw the advert for the £10.00 Blood Pressure monitor from Lloyds chemist and off I went to buy one. Perhaps not a good idea for someone who suffers from H A because ever since I have kept taking my BP and pulse and don't really understand the results. I've got sore upper arms from the tightness of the cuff! I also notice that each arm gives a different reading. It's not helping my health anxiety as I'm more confused than ever as to whether I've got hypertension or not!
I would be really grateful if we have any medical bods (eg nurses) or anyone else in the know, on the site who could tell me what my BP and pulse should be and what sort of reading would indicate you need medical attention? I'm mid forties and over weight by the way.
Thanks
