had you had any booze the night before?

it was an old navy trick that if you had a medical for something you didnt want to do was to have a few drinks the night before (DONT get drunk though) and it raises your blood pressure for about 24 hours after you have stopped drinking.

go and see if they can do it again after not drinking for a while and see what it is then?

might be worth a shot…

White coat syndrome does it with me, the last time I had it it checked, they took me down the corridor in a wheelchair, let me sit for 10 minutes with the paper and then took it. It had dropped by about 40.

Good result but the buggers made me walk back to the ward :laughing:

I know the feeling Malc, some hospital corridors are so unreasonably long that a taxi is sometimes needed to get you back to the ward. :wink: :stuck_out_tongue:
