Things aren’t looking great for our heroine, nut fans.

My blood pressure was high all week, not helped by an extremely stressful time at the office. It probably averages out to about 140/85 for the last three days. Some interesting things of note:

• My blood pressure is the lowest about half an hour after a workout – my lowest reading this week was about 117/74.
• It tends to be the highest before bedtime, not sure if this is an anxiety thing. On thursday it peaked at 150/96 before bed. I should be having a heart attack right about now, right?
• Hot showers also lower blood pressure.

I’m pretty much resigned to the fact that the doctor will take me off the pill and monitor again to see how things go. I’m not looking forward to my PCOS symptoms coming back so I’ll be discussing other options with my doctor when I see her on Monday.
