Quite a few months ago I visited the gp. He checked my bp who said my bp was a little Hugh but not excessive. He wanted my to have a monitor fitted for the day to see how it fluctuates throughout the day.. that was in November.
Hadn’t heard anything so assumed all was okay. I tried ringing for my results but the receptionists at my surgery are useless at answering or trying to help. Assumed no news was good news. Until..
I’ve had a letter to go in and discuss my results. It does specify to make a non urgent app so they obviously aren’t ok worried. Considering it was months ago I first went to the gp for another problem.
I received the letter a month ago. My appointment is on Monday as they couldn’t fit me in before.
So.. if my blood pressure is high. Advice?
I’m
Only 28. Am overweight and certainly not in denial about needing to lose weight - I do, don’t smoke, don’t drink, quite active. Despite being overweight my diet isn’t terrible. But I am under considerable stress and suffer from anxiety.
What do you think they will do? Medicate me or try lifestyle changes? Not much change of reducing the stress in my life but I need to chill more.
How common is high bp in twenties?? Anyone else?
