Hi, went for a check up with my practice nurse today as my annual review has been delayed by 5 months. I was quite surprised when she did my BP and said that it was reasonable but she would have liked it to be a touch lower.
MY BP has always been in the low/mid end of the normal range. My previous BP readings have been;
2015 - 119/71
2016 - 98/63
2017 - 120/68
I also had it routinely done last October as I had repeat my urine taet as my ACR was slightly elevated, and while I don't know the reading, the nurse just said it was fine.
Today it was 122/84 - I know it's not massively high but it now falls into the pre-high blood pressure range. The bottom number has taken a big leap.
Has this ever happened to anybody else? Is it something I should be concerned about and get repeated?
Thanks.
