That's postural hypotension (as opposed to hypertension). 

Your blood pressure hasn't responded quickly enough to allow for movement so you feel lightheaded. Don't go jumping about too quickly 😂

I’m no doctor but I’d have thought it was more likely to be early onset manopause? 🤣

Back from the Emergency Room......and my blood pressure has dropped to 142/80. Apparently that's OK for someone my age.

They suggested I get another test on Thursday morning to allow for the tablet leaving my system and see if it's risen again.

But at this moment in time my readings are not high enough for blood pressure tablets.

And now the aircon's stopped working in the car so I'm getting it gassed tomorrow morning. When is all this shit going to stop?

It's bordering on ok but not brilliant.

Different countries vary for how seriously they take different medical conditions. The Spanish medical establishment does not consider high BP to be that serious, the French take it a little more seriously but not quite as seriously as British doctors do - I'm not saying they are in anyway superior, there are many other things they should take as seriously as other countries do but just don't!

The closer to 120/80 the better, over 130 or 90 is not ideal. The simplest way to explain why is - the less pressure against old pipes that crack easily the safer it is.

A snap shot BP showing your nearing a more normal range does not give a picture of what your blood pressure is most of the time which is the important part of the equation. 

 

If you go for surgery and your BP is too high they will cancel you as high BP equates to 🩸🩸🩸

If you go along armed with a load of BP readings that show your BP is normally ok they don't tend to cancel and will simply give you meds to lower your BP during the procedure. Turn up unarmed without any info and you risk cancellation. 

Sorry if that all sounds a bit matter of fact but I figure you're better off knowing.

I'd swear you didn't have that done very long ago?
