My blood pressure has been a bit unstable for a few months up and down and I've been on 4 different meds to get it down, some caused side affects and we had to try something different, it was nice and low for about a month and I went yesterday for some other blood results and the GP checked my BP and it was high, so now he wants me to check it everyday (I have a monitor at home) so this morning I took it and its very high and now I'm stressing about it and keep imagining I can hear my heart beating..
I know I'm only making it worse and don't know how to stop. I do eat healthily and walk every day and try not to eat salt.
My GP asked if I'm under any stress, I'm not my life is mostly stress free its only this that's got me worrying. Any advice gratefully received.

midgey I would imagine that it would change your temper and behaviour! grin

Now that's what we all need to keep the old BP low, a good belly laugh, thank you.
