I'm in the middle of an ambulatory blood pressure check. When I'm sitting down it's recording an average of 109 over 84 which is pretty good considering the last reading in the GP's surgery was 184 over 116!
but it just took a reading when I was standing up and the values shot up to 143 over 103. Does standing up really make that much difference? or am I really just that unfit

Considering you are canvassing both the chit chat gob****s and the horse racing fraternity at the same time Id suggest anxiety might play a part in your readings.

BP usually drops when you stand up. However moving or even talking, will make a difference. Take sitting, relaxing and still and not just after food or a cup of coffee.
The raised level in the GP's could be 'White coat syndrome' (nervous about doctors).
The bottom figure (diastolic) is the more important, however age is relevant to readings. How old are you?

I'm 50 ish, mine seems to go up quite a bit when I stand though which surprised me. No coffee, no salt, no dairy, no wheat. Just vegetables for weeks not to try and get it down.
Really don't want to end up on tablets, seems such a life sentence.

When you stand up do you gae longingly down the doctors cleavage?
my blood pressures been sky high for about 3 years, never get a reading where its normal, my doc barely seems to care. finally put me on some pills, but they dont seem to do much. he seems to think its more stress related than anything else.
how high is it sideshowbob? these days BP seems to be an indicator of such a lot of things to worry about, maybe you need a new GP....
dunno, i got some tests somewhere. ive got type 1 diabetes, thats the insulin one, so i have regular blood tests galore to check my organs are working ok, so if there was owt wrong youd think someone would notice.
