Good Morning,
I decided to read my BP from my right arm like the Doc does.

Last night before bed it was 152/94 84.
This morning it was 156/100 78. Might do that most mornings until I lessen my anxiousness of reading it.

Hi rustee ~ just a gentle reminder ~ it's best NOT to take a hot bath or shower ~ or have a hot drink before you take your B/P. Also sit down for about ten minutes beforehand too. Take care.

Thanks,
I looked for a forum on BP, Realised it's on here too. As quite a few cope with it too.
