Question, and idea both.

first if you are taking your blood pressure before you take your
medicine in the morning. Please don't. I used too and then
realized that it was high because the medicine was out of my
system. So I started waiting at least 30 minutes, usually one hour.
And It was better.

my caratoid (sp) was clogged 99.9 per cent and was operated on. The first operation they tried to put a stent in but it was too clogged.that probably caused the stroke.
right now I feel rotten. all the aleve and allergy pills also raised my blood pressure. I was just put on more medication for my bp by my gp and then he doubled it when my g.i. said to raise it. I was shocked and terrified when I took my first reading today. Then it went down so I didn't go to the emergency room. I feel so jumpy. I will take it later again today. I have been mostly napping

thanks for the advice Donna. I take the medicine first and then almost immediately take my blood pressure.

it was just 164 87 92 . i was afraid to take it.

bobby, I had a bacon egg lettuce and tomato with mayo sandwich on rye bread for lunch and it was delicious!

I love fresh tomatoes on toast with mayo. I need to get tomatoes planted. Our spring was so cold and wet we decided to wait.

I hard boil eggs for snacks for the week. No more than two a day or so.

Also make sure you sit for 3 to 4 minutes with feet on floor for taking BP.

thanks for the information. I eat a lot of hard boiled eggs. They don't upset my stomach.

Yes, good reminder Rain, Bobby remember also that I have problems
when my legs are on the floor even getting my blood pressure to
read the first, sometimes the second and third times.

So I usually take it sitting with my legs up. I am not sure what
to say. But I think the bottom and the heart beat if I have that
one right are both good.

I have been told you have to have your feet flat on the ground and you shouldn't talk.
156 90 95. I think that is still too high because my gp put me on medicine when it was 160. I woke up with a stomach ache. I put a wet towel on my head last night to try to cool off because I haven't gotten my new air conditioner yet.
I am hoping I don't spend money today.

Will wait with you while you wonder when you will get your new air conditioner.
Can you call to see when it will be delivered?
It is really hot here....
