but I was feeling a bit crap this afternoon, so decided I’d take my blood pressure anyhow. Given the result (systolic down to almost 140) I’m not surprised about how I feel. My body just doesn’t seem to be able to cope with it that low. I have no idea whether that’s something I will get used to or if it’s always going to be a problem.
What is a little worrying though is the heart rate figure. 101 seems a bit extreme given that I wasn’t actually doing anything at the time.
