How high is this

2 replies

After having low blood pressure for years the NHS website says it is high and advises a doctor's appointment. It is 136 over 81.

How bad is this and now seriously will a dr view it? Should I be really worried?

Nothing to panic about at all, only a little over normal. I would do readings a couple of times a day for a week and book an appointment but it’s really not bad at all.

Oh that's good, the high number shocked me as in the past I've been in the region of 110 over 65 or 70. I will do some more readings this week. Thanks.
