I saw my VA PCP, 3 weeks ago, and mine was a bit high, 156/101. Doc wanted to immediately, prescribe.
As I worked in medical, I requested, a BP 30 day check. BP, once a day for 30 days.
He gave me a log book, I have a BP machine, at home. As, I have a past history of clots.
And will see him, next week. BP been good daily.
But my BP is always higher, the second, the nurse, calls my name.
