My advice to you FWIW, is to PM Sheryl and get to a hospital asap. She can give you far better advice than me, but judging by your BP readings given here, and the recommendations from my Microlife BP 3AP1 3E BP tester, you may need to see a specialist rather than the normal GP. My problem was that I was on blood thinning tablets, Morfarin 5mg, and my BP was to low, the doctor said I should stop them (that worked for me) and my BP went up towards the normal range. This is from the operating manual from my Microlife BP 3AP1 3E BP tester and you should do a search across several medical web sites and come up with an average for a man of your age and weight, then compare it with your readings. But Please Please contact Sheryl as she knows more than any other poster on this site. I can only speak for me, as everybody is different. my Microlife BP 3AP1 3E BP tester Range Systolic Diastolic recommendation <99 < 59 consult your doctor 100 > 119 60 >79 Optimum self check 120 > 129 80 > 85 Normal self check 130 > 139 85 > 89 Too high consult your doctor 140 > 159 89 > 99 Seek Medical advice 170 > 179 100 > 109 BP far too high Seek Medical advice 180 > 110 > Urgently Seek Medical advice Edited September 29, 2023 by billd766 corrected some bad spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargamon Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 2 hours ago, ignis said: makes me wonder why I have been subscribed 2 or 3 different High Blood Pressure pills every day for over 30 years Your body changes as you age. Heart gets weaker, arteries blocked, etc etc. The symptoms you were treating 30 years ago may no longer exist so your meds need to be adjusted. I took 2 or 3 BP meds 30 years ago and now I need none. Just an observation, but your a1c of 5.x is low for a diabetic. This is not necessarily an issue but the normal target is 6.x so you might be able to reduce some of your diabetic meds too. More body changes as you age. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your systolic BP is dangerously high. Return to the hospital with these readings. Request to see s cardiologist i.e. don't go only to the Diabetes clinic.
