Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hi group, Happy New year. I just found out I have hypertension. My pressure has been running around 140/88 sitting up while taking it. This is just within the past few months I have been very stressed out. Before this past 6 months my pressures were 130/80. I have diabetes and am very worried. I am a natually nervous person who is a constant worrier and I don't want to take more meds! Now I have a question, when I am lying down my blood pressure reading is about 120/77 when I woke up this morning while still in bed I took it and it was 111/66 what is the best time to take your blood pressure and what is the best position and what reading do you take as the true one? Thank you. Annya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
