There are many times that if I get up out of a chair quickly, I get a bit dizzy. This seems at odds with high BP.
Also, I've been on three different BP meds, now on my fourth. The last three made me ill, and I have no faith in this newest lot. I do honestly wonder that the BP meds are upsetting me because I don't have high BP at all. There's no reason I should have high BP in the first place!
Hence, my sceptisism of my BP readings at the surgery.
I've decided to go to the surgery and stick my left arm in their DIY machine whilst having my home unit strapped to my right arm and do "a sychronised start". Hopefully, the two readings should be (within reason) the same.
