Smart bracelet readings....

I got myself a knockoff budget Fitbit from a voucher website recently - more for the pedometer but it also comes with heart rate and blood pressure readings. Some of the bp results it comes up with are really alarmingly high - are they likely to be accurate or can I relax? The heart rate isn't far out....

I'd also check it out to be sure. There was an article a while ago where a Fitbit showed a odd heart rate than usual and it turned out to be blood clots.
It can't do any harm can it even if it just puts your mind at rest.

The reading could well be a load of bollocks but why not put your mind at rest and go to a local pharmacy and get your blood pressure checked by a professional? Lots of pharmacies offer this service (see Lloyds for example www.lloydspharmacy.com/en/info/blood-pressure-testing ). High blood pressure is a major risk factor for strokes and heart disease but very manageable with treatment so important to find out I think. Good luck!
