re: Blood pressure ranges

I got to the point of stressing over mine. They would take it at work for stupid health insurance BS. I had to run downstairs, sit in a room like cattle and get a screening. It was always a bit high. Then, it would always be high because I started stressing over it each time.

Anyway, I went to my doc and it was high at first reading. I relaxed and re-took it. It was 132/80. He had me get a cuff and I checked it ~40 times over the course of 3 months and documented it. Always low in the mornings. Sometimes a little high after a day of work. I was a bit stressed that he'd want to put me on meds, but looked at the spreadsheet and proclaimed "These are great!"
