Today i woke up with a banging head ache and felt like my pulse was going fast, Tested my blood pressure on the home machine and it was 210/110 @ 80 bpm. Managed to get into the local doctors with the hour and they wrote me a letter for A+E, The local hospital was very quiet and i had an ECG with 10 minutes of arriving and the result was good my heart was working well, They gave me a tablet to help drop my blood pressure and did blood and urine tests, Within an hour my blood pressure dropped to 175/80 @ 60 bpm and my blood and urine tests came back perfect, They have said it is hypertension and i was back home by 3pm, I am on tablets for now but considering i was convinced i was having heart problems i can't complain, I still don't feel right but i cannot fault the NHS service today
