Should I Be Worried About My Blood Pressure Being 135/83?
My blood pressure was measured today at hospital at 135/83. I take lots of medication for Rheumatoid Arthritis and Bronchiectasis, and sleep poorly, waking often. Should I seek medical advice from GP about the blood pressure or is it okay at this level? I'd appreciate your advice. Thanks.
