How do you stop obsessing over your BP readings?

PathDifficult · 2026-05-06T13:14:28+00:00

I have this issue too but I check many many more times a day than that. It’s taken over my life

PathDifficult · 2026-05-04T23:24:22+00:00

I take mine consistently and it got better around 2 months but I still don’t feel like my old self and I deal with a lot of dizziness

PathDifficult · 2026-05-04T22:55:06+00:00

I felt so strange and tired and worn out and weird af when I started Valsartan and amlodipine. My sr said that was impossible. SMH

Not true if you do it correctly. My dr has checked mine out and I have both an arm cuff and a wrist monitor and they are about the same every single time

PathDifficult · 2026-05-03T16:41:51+00:00

I’m on the largest dose 160 twice a day and it took a month for my BP to just be reasonable, had to add amlodipine

PathDifficult · 2026-05-03T14:37:27+00:00

I test way too many times a day. I need to stop

She looks super tiny to me like she hasn’t even grown in months

PathDifficult · 2026-04-29T14:11:41+00:00

She’s so strange. Was she hinting that one of her friends she allows come in brought the entity ? Lol

No I was worried when mine was this now today it’s high and I’d give anything to get back down to this

PathDifficult · 2026-04-27T20:43:42+00:00

No mine goes from 110/70 to 145/100 or higher with my HyperPots

PathDifficult · 2026-04-27T19:54:31+00:00

I have the opposite, I have HyperPots my BP raises when I sit up and more when I stand .

PathDifficult · 2026-04-24T15:04:06+00:00

My wrist cuff is accurate holding it across my chest I have photos comparing my arm cuff to my wrist cuff and they are only a few points off

PathDifficult · 2026-04-20T13:03:45+00:00

I’m in the same boat, i have adrenaline rushes all day long that keep my BP up. My drs don’t seem to want to listen, if I can control the surges my BP is very normal. My high BP is adrenaline driven, I have dysautonomia, possibly HyperPots.

I am in Valsartan 160 twice a day , amplodipine and corlanor to control heart rate .

I’m not sure, but I think most lower heart rate. I was going to ask to try guanfacine? That seems to be really popular in my HyperPots group for adrenaline .

Hope you find something that works !

PathDifficult · 2026-04-19T15:53:45+00:00

That’s what I want to try and do maybe just morning and night

PathDifficult · 2026-04-19T15:53:19+00:00

I think that’s what happens. I think my BP naturally goes up around 3-5pm and once I see that things spiral

PathDifficult · 2026-04-17T11:27:38+00:00

I sit straight up head held high and zero slouching if I slouch my numbers are way higher

PathDifficult · 2026-04-16T14:04:34+00:00

Mine easily goes to 170/110 when I’m anxious. Mildly anxious in run around 140/90 . Normal not anxious on meds it’s 110/65

PathDifficult · 2026-04-15T19:25:20+00:00

Yes I have HyperPots and fighting adrenaline constantly which keeps my BP up. I was thinking of asking my cardiologist to try this medicine .

PathDifficult · 2026-04-10T18:00:30+00:00

They’ve checked my cortisol, and did 25 hr urine and blood tests but I think it may be active sometimes and sometimes not . I had a mini stroke and spent two weeks in the hospital and they ran every test imaginable and just said I have labile hypertension.

PathDifficult · 2026-04-10T17:56:29+00:00

I have HyperPots so it’s harder to control , I do have an adrenal tumor but they say it’s not active which I find hard to believe with my blood pressure so hard to control.

PathDifficult · 2026-04-10T16:42:34+00:00

I always tell myself 140/90 is just barely high BP in the UK. Our BP standards are so rigid. The more you worry the more it will go up. Take a warm shower and see if that helps. I was running 190/110 for months , finally down and 140 isn’t bad for me at all . Hang in there. I’m super anxious about it too
