Well, could have been worse

Phone appointment with my GP (actually I didn't recognise the voice, could have been a locum) re last week's high blood pressure reading.

She wants me to record my blood pressure once a day for a week, and they'll also do bloods and an EEG.

Too early to tell if last week's high blood pressure readings were atypical, but the pulse rate definitely was. When they did my blood pressure my pulse rate was 90, but taking it at home my normal resting rate seems to be mid-60s.

I did manage to mention the two things I think may be contributing to it, but didn't really manage to get as much  focus on them as I'd like. I'll have to arrange appointments about those when I get back.

Luckily she rang between thunderstorms....
