@marlinhampton Good morning to you! We often get used to seeing our blood pressure within a range, and it can really make us wonder why the numbers change. As you can see in the attached article from Mayo Clinic, there can be several underlying causes.

Have you recently changed medications, or other factors in your lifestyle? Less exercise? Changes in diet/go-to foods? If the rise in blood pressure has been consistent, have you checked with your doctor? Also, if you are using a home monitor, have you checked the batteries on it? I found that mine needed to have new batteries, and my readings resumed to what had been normal for me. Who would have thought of that!?

I will be interested to hear what you think?
