Hi @Big Pete, hope your partner is well looked after whilst in hospital, in the meantime make sure you look after yourself and & eat sensibly take meds etc..
something easy to say but sometimes not always easy to do for everyone
what meds are you usually taking yourself, & how high is a quite high in comparison to what you would normally see on your morning reading ?

Sorry to hear about your partner. I hope that they are well looked after in hospital.
You clearly manage your health well. Remember to look after yourself too as best you can at this time. Don’t stress about this disruption to your levels at present, just do the best that you can.
