BP up slightly

I had a cajun chicken and chips. So spices but not overly fatty well actually chips so I guess so. I am very worried about it

leanne86214...you're obsessing when you shouldn't be. Your reading of ll3/83 is just fine. A lot wish they had that sort of reading. You should never take bp readings when not feeling well or are in pain just as AlexandriaGizmo stated. Relax...you're fine.

I was on labetalol after both babies. First for 12 weeks and second for about 15 weeks. I fear I may now have severe white cost syndrome also as every time I had my bp taken I was either told I was at risk, put back in hospital or Medstead increased!

For some reason your reply didn't come through to me, your bp would be affected by spices and fat(chips) and I would say you were anxious about it so you do need to factor in white coat as well, go back to your Dr and tell him how worried you are so he can reassure you.

My DIL had same problem during and after both her two babies but was fine after about 4/5 months after.

Also hers was much much higher than yours .

Hope your feeling a little bit more settled

I'm so so worried. I have been feeling OK about do took it tonight after sitting for 5 minutes and thinking nice thoughts and got a reading of 125/96 average no lower sometimes a little higher. I am terrified something is going to happen to me my pulse was normal in fact quite low for me so I wasnt anxious.

leanne86214...125/96..isn't that bad. The lower number is a bit high..yes, but your anxiety is not doing  you any favours!!! If you feel a little anxious as you go to sit with your bp monitor..forget it...don't take the readings.

You'll be anxious wondering what the numbers will be. Truly my dear, you need to relax. Your numbers are fine, but they WILL climb if you allow yourself to become upset about them. We're not doctors on this forum, just people trying to help each other..but the best person to consult about your concerns is your doctor.

The disatolic is  .. 96 ?

Are you sure it was not 86 ?

Definitely 96

Diastolic number is high as compared to systolic. 

There are certain conditions and risks associated with high diastolic number. 

Is it always this much elevated .... 96 ?

Ideally it should be 80 or less

Normally I get Reading of 113/83 ish

113/83 is considered normal. 

You will need to monitor your BP and see how many times or what times of day and at stress level it goes up ...close  than 125/86 is considered pre-hpn. Above 130/90 is considered high with underlying CVD/KD, but for some people it can be just fine.

I have major anxiety but my pulse used to be high when I took it. I'm terrified of having a heart attack or stroke due to it! A couple of weeks ago it was at a normal level I only checked it this week cuz I was feeling a bit rubbish and was curious...wish I hadn't now. I also don't normally check it during the working week encase stress makes it rise temporarily (I work 3 days a week as a teacher and currently under a lot of pressure and a lot of changes happening) so I am doing everything I did normally do but I am now worrying myself!!!

Ok, just control your stress with meditation/yoga or just listening to plain calming music. Everything would be fine :-)
