Hello Paul! I have some questions I hope you have time to answer.

I have bought a BP meter today. I have had a low BP for a long time, checket at my GP each time. Today it seems to be high? 166 systolic 114 Diastolic. Pulse 78. Earlier I used to have a resting pulse on ca 70.

Lommelegen about blood pressure

Your BP is high, even if doctors have measured the same on me and daid it was not high. I participated in a research project "Vitamin D against fat", a doctor at UNN said that I as a hypothyroid should not have more than 135 in systolic pressure.

The balance between systolic and diastolic must be right. The nearer numbers, the worse is the BP

Fra Lommelegen:

The fact that high blood pressure usually does not give any symptoms, means that it is often detected later than it should. There are many different and good treatment for high blood pressure. If treatment is started early, it can prevent much damage to the heart, kidneys and blood vessels, particularly the risk of stroke.
