Same here.

HTSBO suffers from White coat Hypertension.

Blood levels through the roof at doctors / hospitals.

kept changing her dose's higher and higher, didn't make sense.

Digital home readings now excepted by our doctor.

 

Think we paid a little more, for an all dancing / all talking, big thumbs up one.

well worth having. (make great presents 😀)

 

Keep safe out there 8)

Talking ? I don’t think I could stand it when mine said oh for f**k sake 😂

I had mine checked at Boots last year.  I have also noticed that mobile clinics in supermarket car parks keep popping up now and again, they do blood pressure checks and give advice.

I take my own readings. If I have it done at the doctors it is always sky high. I’m not a fan of doctors 😁

 

I just send them a diary of a weeks measurements every so often.

They used to check your blood pressure when giving blood, they stopped doing it.

Seems a shame, giving something that might be beneficial to you while you're sitting giving blood. I wonder why they stopped?

I'm the same. My GP actually started laughing and asked to be excused while she took a photo of my blood pressure reading on her phone. She knows what I'm like...

my gp surgery have lent me the machine and given me a chart to fill in for testing twice a day for a week!

Our Gp wanted the Good Lady to do this but they only had one machine and someone else was using it .:rant: We bought one for 25 quid .
