I have been measured my BP today and 4 weeks ago and 6 weeks ago and all came 130+/90+ . It all started with my BP being measured after a minor op. It was quite high after the op. Thus started my regime of getting BP checked over the next few weeks. Everytime I go to measure my BP, I get a bit nervous and can feel my heart pounding.
I have a guess that this is all because I am stressed out during these check-ups. I have some on going physical problems for which I had to visit GP quite often and had my BP checked a few times in the last year and it was not reported to be high. This ongoing problem has increased my stress level very high as I always tend to fear the worst.
However I have made an appt with GP tomm on the advise of the nurse who took my BP. Actually it was 124/87 and 135/95 in 1 min diff.
What sort of tests will I request the GP tomm? Should I ask for some anxiety management plan? Should I insist on making an appt with some cardio-vascular specialist?
I am so heartbroken with this because for the last one year (just after my physical problem started) I have started eating healthily, brisk walk 30mins a day 3-5days/week and have lost alost 9kgs of weight. Still I feel shit most of the time. I really dont know what to do!!.
