and here are some more facts---

My blood pressure was taken the other day for a routine yearly physical and
the reading was 120/80. the BOTTOM number, the one we all concern
ourselves with was 10 points higher than any other reading ever done on me
and my pulse was racing, called palpitations. This was all news to me!

You see, after I rang the bell at check-in, I told the staff I was going
(walking) to the post office (a two block walk each way.) I walked at a
brisk pace and by the time I returned to the clinic I was huffing and
puffing and thought nothing of it. The reading was taken almost
immediately after I had returned.

THEN IT HIT ME ABOUT AN HOUR LATER----

If a reading is to be given THE CORRECT WAY IS " NO EXERCISE FOR AT LEAST
A HALF HOUR prior to the reading.. SITTING OR LAYING DOWN IS IDEAL.

If this sounds like your situation, take it over!! Hope this helps and
good luck
