(25M) Are my blood pressure readings correct
Every time I go to the doctor, I have my BP tested
I'm confused because the readings (for example, 124 sys and 94 dia) my doctor get mean that I have "hypertension stage 2", but she doesn't give me advice about it or say its something of concern
I see my doctor once a month and the BP readings for it fall under Hypertension stage 2. Should I be concerned?? Why isn't my doctor giving me advice. At one point she said it is "normal", but I've had this reading for 6+ months
Past readings:
July: 124 sys and 94 dia
June: 132 and 91 dia
