hi tam

As long as I can remember I have had this fluctuating pressure problem. In the past I have been told that as long as the pressure regulates itself down there is no problem.

Six months ago the pressure was raised higher than usual and after a series of checks it was decided to put me on medication -Amlipodine.
This immediately lowered my pressure to within the doctor's target for me.

As it happens I went for my periodic check on my blood pressure yesterday. The check was performed by a triage nurse and she found the readings to be "higher than she would like".

I was told the same thing again that the heart naturally works hardwer some times more than others and the pressure fluctuates with it.

However I have been provided with a monitor and told to monitor my pressure for a fortnight and return with the graph in two weeks.

As I understand it this latest news about fluctuating pressures means that patients with it will be treated as if they had constant high pressure.

Not sure what that means for me as I am already on medication.

My point here is are you already on medication and if so what are youexpecting to happen as a result of the recent statement about fluctuating pressures??
