Re: Slightly paniced over Blood Pressure
Your reading is fine, perfectly normal. I agree with not getting your own machine, i have a machine at my fingertips all day at work and believe me it is a temptation to keep doing it. If you have your bp done sit quiet and relaxed, 15 minutes before hand is a good time, and let your gp or nurse do it. Not an ideal situation in the chemists really either as you've been active and could have been spending money before hand, this makes your BP go up, lol. The normal RESTING blood pressure should be 145/85 or below, going by guidelines, but it can be a little higher and still be fine. Our blood pressure goes up and down all day long, changing from second to second and everytime you have a reading the chances are it will be different. Your jumper being tight on your arm will have affected your reading also!! If a bp is high and it stays constantly high, that is when the gp or nurse will start to monitor it. Hope this helps.x
