Well, okay, that's weird....

silverthorneI think it might have been because I'd been walking at a brisk march in the store to get to the BP machine.
Anyhow, when I moved out, one of the bad health things I had was a 138/98 blood pressure and a 98 pulse.
Which, for me, is really bad. Up until the past year, my BP had managed to stay around 120/60-70 and a pulse of 78, even at 200 plus pounds.
Today, I went and used the store PB machine.
...109/93. (pulse of 95, but discounting that because I had just sat down from a brisk walk)
So now I'm low on systolic (active pressure), and high on (?)diaolic (resting pressure)...unless the brisk walk mucked something up (and yes, I took three different readings in a two minute period). I'll have to retry that on a day when I've been in the store for a while and see if that's the case (I was in a rush, so didn't hang around until my body calmed more).
I guess the good news is that it's down. Just...the mix of numbers is weird.
Also, I took resting pulse a few minutes ago, now that I've been calm for a bit. Again, three different times. That stayed consistent.
68 beats a minute. *g* Go, me.
