I talk to my nephrologist tomorrow. I really want a medication for my blood pressure since it is way too high. As high or higher than my husband's was when he was prescribed one. I even bought the blood pressure monitor that doctor pushed me to buy (never told Hubby because he didn't want me to). Now we have three. This new "better one" shows the highest readings yet. I would also like something for my cholesterol. If something doesn't assist, I will likely soon croak from a heart attack or stroke.

The frustrations are getting to me. Fury starts to set in.
Soupe, I have been scouting my own bp monitors. It does look like many, if not most, maybe all, of the most popular units do often read inaccurately on the high side. It is just rampant. So, hard to know what your pressure truly is. Sorry.
