So my doctor suggested that I get a blood pressure monitor both for myself at 56 and for my elderly father at 93. I’m a little nervous about using it properly and while I was in the store the woman told me my blood pressure was quite high and I have never had a problem with it before. But she also told me that my pulse was high (93) Which can be normal for me especially when I am anxious and I had been anxious about buying the monitor just because of what it’s related to, and I had just walked
down a big hill to the store.
I am at home now and relax this afternoon. My doctor told me never to do it first thing in the morning and to do a couple and let them average out as the first one is usually wrong. But I am so afraid to use it for fear that I find some thing I don’t like. I also bought an oximeter and I’m afraid to use that too.
What to do?
