Blood pressure

[coloursquare]

I've started the lowest dose of rampiril and BP has crept up to about 137/90 in the GPs surgery and was borderline on 24 hour monitor a year ago.

Took home readings today and it has gone down to 108/76. This seems like a big drop, which is obviously good - but is this typical b such a low dose? GP thought it may be white coat syndrome.

I am yet to meet anyone who had lower blood pressure at the doctors. I would put money on it being that and not think more about it! xx

It's the meds doing their job.

I'm questioning the scale of the drop: -29 systolic and -14 diastolic on the lowest possible dose over just 2 weeks?

Bit of both? Meds working and no white coat syndrome?

Yes,it's possible.
