[QUOTE="Struma, post: 1321709, member: 244676"] [FONT=Arial]Hello and welcome back Kenny! My thoughts are: BP is very dynamic, it will never always be exactly the same, so don't expect it, to usurp disappointment. Targets are well publicised, about 140/90 initially, then about 130/80. Sometimes takes a while, and that can be the safest way. The numbers achieved are balanced against negative effects, such as becoming dizzy on standing. Prepare just as [USER=94045]@Bluetit1802[/USER] has explained in you previous post; I would advise putting on the cuff before the "little rest" time, and try to get the cuff on [I]flat[/I] clothing, not a rolled cuff for instance. Frequency, alternate weeks of recording BP at same time of day - before pills one week, pm's next week, then 2 [I]maybe[/I] 3 times a day for a week. You need to fit it around your life style, don't let it dominate! Don't record 25th & 26th December!! Hope this may help a little.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
