Yea, it’s funny how you can justify genocide once you have the reigns of power.

White coat syndrome can have a big one. Took the Mrs for a dental operation yesterday, but they refused to administer the anaesthetic because her blood pressure was too high (170/110 
)
Measured it again at home yesterday evening and it was 104/62

Yes, that’s what the anaesthetist at the dental clinic said. Although i checked it three times yesterday evening over a period of about an hour and the systolic was in the low 60s on all three occasions.
She’s made an appointment with her doctor for tomorrow 
brilliant , keep an eye on the diastolic as thats the one to worry about as well . we all get raised systolic everyday when those lovely drivers cut us up etc
That’ll be the diastolic. The trick is to find medication which brings the systolic down without lowering the diastolic so far that you faint when you stand up.

Just move to Wales Jim and watch the blood pressure drop
