I'm 33 and have HBP and I've started ACE...
I measure my bp with an electric monitor and Im so stressed out when Im about to measure it. My heart races and I try not to look at the monitor till its finished. I notice that the BP drops with each reading I take,,,from 150/100 to 130/90 in the space of minutes as I calm down a bit. How reliable is this then?
