Is High Systolic Reading A Cause Of Concern?
My blood pressure was taken today by local chemist: three readings (top number) 169 then 143 then 151. Said bottom number was ok. Should I be worried. (I had walked quickly to the chemist) Pharmacist said go back in one month, but I will probably visit my doctor next time.
