I was diagnosed with hypertension
I had a random health checkup and they found that I had a high BP of 170/90. But the problem is that I get very nervous when I am about to go for these checkups and I can feel my heart rates rising and blood pressure shooting up. Now I am not sure whether they give the correct readings. I have been regularly going to a gym for the last two months (as I am trying to lose my weight) doing all kinds of cardio and weight training but haven't faced any problem with anything.
Hello..
Well I understand that you have the problem of fear of getting checked BP...So I would suggest you to check the bp yourself with the electronic Bp monitors which will prevent the anxiety. ...I would suggest you to confirm the diagnosis and then start with the treatment for it... Thank you
