Is My BP Level A Cause For Concern?
my doctor has just taken my blood pressure and first time it was 188 over 79 and second time was 189 over 80 (he worried me). He wants me to go back to see a nurse on friday. Should I be worried?
I am 38, 5ft 3inch, 16stone (just lost 2.5stone) and have a history of depression & stress (my eldest son has Aspergers which causes lots of stress)
