110/70 here at the moment. That's within the normal range, mind you that may change when I take my meds in a minute.
Last time I checked mine was 145/80, and that's with 10mg Amlodipine each day. Could do for it to be a bit lower. Resting heart rate less than 60. Don't know what that's supposed to be, but might explain why I always nod off if sat doing nowt for a few minutes (my CD player does the same if it detects no signal).
To go from BP being high enough to need meds, to 83/49 seems a bit extreme. Get yourself checked Geoff (even if it is going back to 'normal'), it's not done that for no reason.
40 mins after taking its already started to fall. 159/81Quote:

I was told the self test machines, the cuff (EDIT, mine is a wrist type) type in particular, are generally thought to read low.
I was told to add 10 to the high reading and 5 to the low reading.
Why? The machine I use is the same make and model as used in my local surgery.Quote:

My BP is 90 over 60, resting pulse 60. I'm barely alive.:lol: When I raise my arms my veins disappear, then lower them they all swell. I also got anemia.
