Blood Pressure query
I’m due to re-validate my C1 Medical in March, however, whilst using the ‘home’ BP machine; I have observed my BP fluctuate over the course of two weeks, in fact hours. The very fist reading was 140/103, and a pulse of 73. The following recordings have been lower in the 135/90 – 124/80 range. However, at each sitting I have noticed my pulse rate to be at around the mid 80s. Usual it is the lower BP figure that is high, ‘/90’ even when the upper figure is low ‘125/’. Although, I don’t smoke, or consume a great deal of alcohol, other them the occasional glass of red wine, I don’t exercise or consume a very good diet! I'm 6ft and 15st
Are these figures enough to warrant a fail on the medical, furthermore, can anyone advise what I can do to remedy this issue without medication. Or have I allowed things to get out of hand…?
