Difference Of Opinion Re Blood Pressure
3 Answers
Had eye test and optician advised me to make appointment with GP as I have blood vessels at back of eye which are broken/bleeding. Also, vessel was thickened and kinked significantly compared to last eye test. He said this would be due to high blood pressure.
Every time ive had my blood pressure taken it has been in normal range and today's reading at GP surgery was 108/70. Also, cholesterol level was fine and I don't have diabetes.
I'm confused at difference of opinion/result. Can anyone explain please?
