I was told to check it once a day at various times. Like I said before I'm keeping it in check.. only time in weeks its been above 150 was this Tuesday at 8pm and it was 154. But yesterday I checked it at 8:30am and it was 124. Less than the 150 but I read it should be lower in the morning as oppose to evening. Anywho yeah I was meeting a friend I hadn't seen in a decade so I was freaking nervous.. I don't think my blood pressure dropped much below 140 until after the ice broke. I had checked it a few times.. 144, 145 and a 139. You think this could have caused it? Thanks!
