[QUOTE="LionChild, post: 2464658, member: 461457"] Thanks for your response Little Grey Cat! Yes, I usually wait a bit before doing my own blood pressure test, but not usually as long as half an hour. Doesn't that tell us something about the accuracy of BP taken in the doctor's surgery then? I mean usually there is no pause, no preparation, straight in, and often only done once whereas I understand it should be done at least twice consecutively...? I have been exercising more in terms of walking I mean, and my BP has actually come down significantly it would seem as a direct result of that. I have not seen any more diastolics in the 90s since two weeks ago... The systolic has also tended to be lower, even 107, 118, that kind of level a few times. And one diastolic was 75! I will try the garlic cloves though, have given up coffee for now, and red wine. I don't know if giving up the red wine has made any difference. I tend to think the difference is because of walking more, well, more briskly, probably...? I read that variable blood pressure is also NOT GOOD however, and can be predictive of dementia. Oh dear. Oh well. Onward and upward. What else can a girl do?! [/QUOTE]
