Seeing a new doctor a week from Thursday, and in our video visit she asked me to test my blood pressure regularly before the appointment.

and wow both my checks so far sure are in STAGE 2

laughs in how am i still alive rn

A healthy heart rate for adults over 18 is usually between 60 and 100 beats per minute and if this third number on the meter is my pulse, that's high too

on the other hand, maybe dealing with this will finally be my Vitamin

yyeah I'm in stage 2 also, we're trying to deal with it, got a follow up in a few days

also idk what you're using but you may want to take multiple readings to make sure they're accurate

for example I just took mine, and the actual bp was like, 147/89 , but the FIRST reading I took was 173/87 which is uhhh worrisome if true (it was not)

Huh, interesting. How far apart were those measurements?

How far apart, sorry.

a few seconds apart

like I took it, was like, that's not right, and took it again

so basically if you squint eye at a reading not really lining up with how you're feeling, not a bad reason to take it again - and maybe change whether you're standing or sitting

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind. Seems like they're relatively consistent so far, though.
