home BP monitoring results Posted: 03-19-08 14:28pm
Hi all
Everything that I read about taking my
blood pressure measurement says to do
everything possible to calm yourself and
basically get the lowest reading possible.
(Uncrossed legs, dont talk, go pee first,
etc.).
My question is, what if my bp is just at
or slightly above the 'normal' level or in
the pre-hypertension range most of the
time when doing all of those things, but
when I am up and about, walking,
exercising, and basically doing normal
things in everyday life, and it's usually
in the "High" range?
It would at least seem to me that if my bp
is normally (from daily activities) in a
high range, that it would be dangerous?
