I am away in London and was surprised when I checked my BP to find that at rest it was 160/105 this morning. I took my meds, but resting tonight ot was still 150/100. THe meds usually keep it under control. I dread to think what it was during the day when on the underground. Had some mild chest pain travelling. Not good.

Since changing my tablets recently it has not gone above 135/85. Could it just be the stress of being away that has precipitated it?
