Woke up yesterday feeling good, went to work, then had a headache which I put down to sinus (I get sinus pain regularly). Drank tons of water and ate something and it wasn't going away so I popped some paracetamol and pseudoephedrine but oddly the pain was getting worse and I started getting palpitations and I was finding it hard to focus my eyes.. Went home early and went to bed. DH suggested I check my BP (have a home monitor from a period years ago when I had stress related BP problems, but never went on meds).
Diastolic was elevated, have been taking it approx hourly since except through the night and it's hovering around 116/87 on average. Still have headache and palpitations, although milder than they were yesterday.
Any ideas what this might be? Should I see my GP?
My mum has had BP issues that have lead to other health issues (heart arrythmia) so I am conscious at my age (46) that I might be following in her footsteps..
Don't you know I'll go to see GP and my BP will be perfect!
