I've been monitoring my blood pressure very carefully and I've noticed that it increases by some 30 points when I stand up..Example...a sitting down reading could be 128/88..but when I take a reading 3 or 5 minutes later standing up on dame arm..
The reading is something like 155/102.
Any ideas why this is happening

Hello Louis, have you looked at all the leaflets that are available on Patient UK?

What type of blood pressure monitor do you use? Have you discussed this with your doctor?

I mean, have you discussed the readings with your doctor & has he ever given you a 24 hour BP monitor? Often when you use one of those, the readings come out within normal range.
