pshaw_ravenI wondered why I've lately felt dizzy and weird when I stand up, so I recently started taking my pressure again (still trying to find a good way to integrate this with my blood glucose data and thinking I need to just make my own spreadsheet) and it was 96/54.
Which is pretty good I guess? At least I'm not dead.
I'd love to be able to talk to my doctor about going off BP meds, but my anxiety gets so bad every time I go in that I get normal or slightly above readings. Last office visit it was like 120/79 because I was nervous. When I'm in my natural habitat it tends to run very low.
My doc seems pretty laid back, so I wonder if he'd be open to looking at my self-collected data. I know there's a degree of inaccuracy in testing one's self for these things, but inaccuracies aside I think it might give him a more accurate picture of my health stats than when I'm in his office and despite knowing that there isn't any reason to be worried, worrying anyway.
