I think 130 is point at which your systolic becomes a concern. I used to measure mine quite often and if I had had a barrage of coffee it would get up to that, mine is generally 110/80.

So ordered a pizza and a bottle of whisky for lunch to celebrate.
Also got to go for an ECG as well tomorrow, just before I fly. No champagne tomorrow.

Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostMaybe not tomorrow. Been to the doctors today, because I keep getting dizzy spells and have fallen a few times . Been happening since my last trip to the US.
Blood pressure was 133/110, says I may have to go on medication, whatever that means.
Got to go back on Monday for a few more blood test results and another BP test.
