High Blood Pressure

W hen my BP went up (similar readings to yours) it was mainly due to stress plus i do have a family history but never any probs before that. My GP had me wear a BP monitor for 24 hours so we could get an overall view and it averaged out ok. Over time my BP went back to normal and lower due to increased exercise. Though now when ever someone in a 'white coat' takes my BP it sky rockets...funny that. Ask about wearing one for 24 hours. It's a complete pain in the butt, particularly at night but it will give you an average. Your gym workout will also help especially if you are aiming for medium to high intensity exercise. All this happened with me before i went on an AI as well as after. I had no rads due to a trial I'm part of. I know when my BP is up cos I feel strange so I just check it as a matter of course (i ended up buying a machine from the chemist). If it's up i know something is roiling around in my sub conscious and has surfaced finally in the form of raised BP. For me i go hunting in my brain for what the trigger could be. Usually i figure it out and that's when everyting calms down. Good Luck, Cath
