Hiya folks
before starting LT my blood pressure was normal only going high when i was severely stressed out or very ill but other than that normal.
Some of you may know i work in a hospital so have nurses and doctors on tap all day every day which came in very handy this week
For the past few days i have just generally been feeling cack with headaches and random dizziness and other random symptoms i wrote it off to not timing my shakes right and not drinking enough water for the first few days but yesterday I had, had enough I knew i was doing everything I should be doing but i still felt cack so I got my blood pressure checked at work and its through the flipping roof !!!
I am deffo not stressed I am deffo not ill infact other than my BP being high im very happy with life and the only thing thats changed since i had it checked 12 weeks ago is LT
I am not scaremongering but i am just curious if anyone elses BP has gone up on LT ???
Since the first reading was high i had to go back and get it done at different points throughout the day and it didnt get any better so i know it wasnt a blip. I know it couldnt be white coat syndrome because I work here and its a second home so i can rule out that.
For those of you that worry one of the nurses said technically im losing weight so it should be coming down slowly but surely not going up. But for me since it was normal beforehand its more of a worry and i need to think about whats changed in my life.
Decided plan of action is im going to get it done spaced out over a few days next week to see whats what and if it hasnt come down then I am going to my GP the week after, its also been suggested that if it doesnt come down i try a refeed for a couple of weeks and see if that makes a difference but there isnt much point in doing that if i can come to the conclusion that it isnt the LT affecting it.
