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)
Yes definitely u should be concerned...but need not worry. ...high blood pressure for long time and specially uncontrolled can lead to harm to eyes kidney heart brain ...so keeping in control will help u for long term...for that u just need to have regular followup exercise diet. .low salt day today ...take care dear
