[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1092366, member: 211362"] Hi, I have a monitor at home too as I was diagnosed with hypertension. I'm on ramipril to treat it. What I do is only test myself 1-2 times a day if I'm feeling ok. If I'm not feeling ok, then I will test more. I find that my BP does go quite high when I'm fighting infections, etc. I have to be careful too because along with the high BP I also get a high heart rate which is known as sinus tachycardia. So in the past any time I've had to call an ambulance I've had both high BP and high heart rate and they treat you as an emergency especially because I'm diabetic. I guess they think we're at high risk of serious things. I usually feel the worst too when I have both the high BP and heart rate. But if you're feeling ok, try and encourage yourself to only test at a set time of day, or twice a day if that will help. If you notice a high reading they do say you should get 3 high readings before you need to be concerned. I know it's hard to not obsess when you want to keep your BP in normal range. It also may be that you need meds to help, or a dosage change if you're already on meds. I hope that helps. :) [/QUOTE]
