When and how should 1 take BP readings?  We were told - B4 breakfast and the best of 3 over 15 mins..

My nephew has been told to take random tests ......... "If taken the same time every day the readings become inaccurate" 

He's a bit "I know more than U do" type ........... tries to 'best' me on every topic though I haven't tried him with menopause. Yet

We’ve just had to do at home blood pressure readings for my mum as she’s had a stroke 2 weeks ago and has high blood pressure. We were told before breakfast over 15mins to half hour and to inform the GP of the lowest of the 3 readings

Hope that helps xx

Tnx.  Certainly does help.

Is your Mum progressing well, it can be really slow for the sufferer.  Is she getting physio. etc.?

She’s not doing to bad at the moment. Doesn’t seem to be any improvement so far but it’s early days yet. She’s not getting any physio but I have asked the GP about it.

My mum is from that generation that just ‘gets on with it’ without making a fuss, so she doesn’t like it when people are fussing around her and trying to help and she hates it when the GP just calls in unannounced as she live around the corner
