Hello again,
I’m really pleased with all the responses to my question – thanks. I went along to see the nurse today for a BP check following an unsuccessful BP test with the doctor a couple of days ago. The result was still high (160/100). I tried Fox6’s method of having a run an hour or so before the appointment but it didn’t work for me. The nurse has given me an electronic BP meter to use at home. The above BP was recorded at the surgery about 20mins ago and now at home its 130/80 using the same machine! Quite a big difference considering they were taken so close together. It puts my mind at rest but won’t help with the CAA; they don’t accept such results as they are easy to cheat.
Anyway I’ll keep you all informed.
Thanks again - QQ
