155/365 - Checking my blood pressure


I can't believe it's come to this. Checking my blood pressure at home. I have always had such good blood pressure readings. But....over the last year every time I have had a doctor's appointment, my blood pressure has been slightly high. My primary care thinks it is probably "white coat hypertension" but I never used to have that. Hence, the at home blood pressure monitor. We'll see what happens.

Deb, what was your pressure that they said was a bit high?

Last week at the doctor's it was 140 high something/80 high something. Tonight, after I learned how to use this thing, three times it was 1-teens/60's. I'll bring it to work tomorrow and have the nurses check it for accuracy.
