Hi Sqad

[Dagman]

Hope you don't mind me asking, for the last few nights I've had bad sleep only getting between 4-5 hours, waking up with a sickly feelings and palpitations, took my bp several times, averaging 138/83 I called my gp this morn, practitioner nurse called back. She says nothing to worry about, probably a bug and bp is normal! It seems high to me but she says she is a cardiac nurse and it is fine. Any thoughts?

I had a call with my GP last week. I measured my BP at 139/79 - she said that was OK. (I take ramipril & amlodipine)

Morning Dagman, no problem at all.
What medication are you taking and what is you pulse rate?
I assume that these palpitations do not imply chest pain.

Sorry if I take a little time to answer but I am going for my shower now -;)

No chest pain!

[Dagman]

She did say my bloods taken in November were perfect.

Thanks for your full reply...I agree with the advice of your nurse.....no big deal.

Monitor the situation but watch out for chest pain.

Thanks, I'll give it a couple of days, getting pretty fatigued now. Much appreciated.
