I got a phone call from the GP today about my ongoing blood pressure issues.
He doesn't want me to have medication, and is content for me to monitor it, despite the average readings being into hypertension territory.
He is arranging for an ECG and at the same time wants me to be aware of the outside possibility of atrial fibrillation after exercise as a cause of my fatigue.
I'm taking this as good news.

All a bit 21st century having a phone consultation with your doctor in Leicester while sitting on the banks of Lake Windermere!

World Hypertension Day

May 17 is marked as World Hypertension Day. Many people with high blood pressure do not realise they have it.
That is what makes hypertension difficult.
Routine checks, healthier habits, and earlier awareness all make a difference.
Insights shared through My Patient Advice often highlight how accessible healthcare information supports preventive care and informed decisions.
