You're only checkin it once a week? Blood pressure fluctuates during the day and night, After you eat, after you sleep, after a workout, And you can forget about getting a normal reading at the docs office "White coat hypertension" And of course on cycle, I check 3 times a day on cycle, Its that chronic HBP that will ruin you, Got mine under control with carditone even if it spikes above normal, but that's just me..If you are having rapid heart beat and hypertension even in times of relaxation, Screw that then man!
