Blood pressure

[Sarah69]

Can anybody tell me what was you bp when you had to go on tablets. Mine is creeping up today it was 165 over something, although the consultant never mentioned anything to do with my blood pressure. I’m just wondering what happened with everyone else please.

That was the level when my GP suggested checking in a month's time with a view to going onto tablets. It was OK a month later, so no tablets. A Year later however it spiked at 240/180 and I was told I was hours off a stroke.

Thanks, today I checked my blood pressure at work and it was 103/61. I think I shall check it everytime I’m in because I don’t want to go on even more medication.

Good idea to keep an eye on it.

250/150 was apparently a ticking bomb, Zand kinda beat me
