I was quite shocked when it came back as 170/120!!

Did the 24-hour thing c/o the hospital

Went for my initial medical and it was 150/100. Told the AME about the 24hr thing and she suggest I just read a magazine and chill out for 10 minutes whilst she did the paperwork. Took it again - perfectly normal.

How did your pulse rate vary with the range of readings?
