I only thought about it as it can caused headaches and nose bleeds. Mine is high, had to have my dosage upped, but it’s fine now.

I'm on a low dose of amilodipine at the moment. My blood pressure was very high, then I lost weight and it got lower, but now it's high again. I was told that sleep apnea can raise your blood pressure and it seems I have that, but need confirmation next week at this second sleep study. He said the carbon dioxide might be building up or something. I only thought about it as it can caused headaches and nose bleeds. Mine is high, had to have my dosage upped, but it’s fine now.

BP is 147/105 first time 137/108 second time. So not great

The lower figure needs to come down. Upper figure on 2nd reading not too bad. . They always say take 3, with a few minute gap in between. Plus your machine needs cibratimg every so often. Can’t remember how often, but it’s still giving a rough guide

Yes, the diastolic is a bit high.
I'm going to end up stopping coffee I guess. That's me even more tired!
Calibrating my machine how?

lol I meant calibrating. I think some chemists can. Not sure
Tea has caffeine, just not as much. Might be worth a try?
I have never felt a caffeine energy. But I only have one tea in the morning, then water or Sprite Zero occasionally. I’m not a lover of fizzy but every so often, depending on what I eat, I just fancy
If your bo can get down, you might feel less tired

Got my sleep study tonight at the hospital. Apparently I get my results in the morning, so it'll be interesting to see what it reveals.
