Abnormal Ecg

[NoraB]

Thanks for replying lady! Yesterday I was sweating most the day especially my hands and feet. I’m just getting over a sinus cold that had me in bed all weekend. I have high blood pressure and have been on meds for about 13 years for it and it always been normal readings for the most part. I got home from work and took my bp because of the sweating and pains in my chest. Reading were all over the place where as when I take readings once a month or every few months they are normal. I had a reading of 150/116 and freaked.

I reckon this is your answer...

Re the BP monitoring...

If your doc has asked you to monitor yourself, fine. Otherwise, it's not the best idea when you have health anxiety..

If you have an infection, this will affect your blood pressure..
