i shall speak to Dr on the phone next week in lieu of face to face, so can I ask this group to answer a question? I take my own HBP readings at home. This morning, the first one was 185\65, the second 183/65 and the third was 151/89. I usually take the best of three. When the top one has come down and the bottom has gone up, which would you chose as the best? And how can it change so dramatically within 5 minutes? TIA
