My bp reading is 145/98, should i go to the hospital?

No: Don't panic over a single static bp. However, if your diastolic (lower) pressure remains above 80-90, you will definitely need to seek medical attention. Make an appointment with your primary doctor to discuss this.

Hospital records questionable. Is it possible to have a TSH of .02, then TSH 5.56 two days later? Symptoms match readings both days. But is this even possible, or is one of these likely wrong? My understanding is TSH won't change that fast?
