Borderline Blood Pressure and diabetes test.

[agent orange]

I went for a blood pressure test and they took it 3 times. It started off sys 145 over dia 98 then 138 over 94 then finally 138 over 87, the pharmacist took it and said it was borderline, and to come again in a week's time. I felt ok, may'be a little anxious. Is this to be worried about? Also I have had a headache during the day, which I still have, is this linked. I also had my glucose levels checked for Diabetes and this was 4.6, she said it was fine???

Anyone got any ideas?

As you said you felt a little anxious don't worry about it you can always get it checked again.

I have read other posts and theirs seem to be a bit similiar too, but still not sure about it though.

Can anyone relate to this and is it high?

if you was anxious anyway tht cn make it high , i know its easier said than done but next time you have it try to relax a little hope this helps

Thanks Amanda, the doctor said the last one was ok and did not say anything else about it. I was a little anxious, but not overtly though.

I went back for a retest as they suggested and it is still high, i saw the nurse who said it's not dangerous but borderline, she suggested relaxation, i wish i could.It is still 145/94, but it went down slightly to 142/94 at nurses.
