Hi, I had a cold aprox 4 weeks ago that has left me with a chronic cough. I have been coughing up phlem and have been given anibiotics which seem to be helping. My worry is that when I went to see my GP the nurse told me my bloodpressure was high and I may want to book an appointment with my GP to get it checked. It was 154/98 with a pulse of 89, is this very high
