What Does My Below Blood Pressure Values Indicate?
yesterday I was given a health check under a local scheme and my blood pressure was given as 177/90 Only last week I had a hospital appointment on another unrelated matter and my blood pressure was taken - nothing was said so naturally I am led to believe there are no worries about my blood pressure - is this likely to be the case?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
This may not be the case.
The reading on that occasion may have been normal or it may have been high and not mentioned for different reasons.
This reading should be rechecked on another occasion as soon as possible to see if it is still this high.
You may need to start medications and lifestyle changes to help reduce the values.
I hope this helps
