I scheduled a physical. What does that usually involve? I've had blood pressure/weight checked before with a previous doc is that the usual physical?
My blood pressure was 140 over 80 Thursday and I checked it again today. 1st test was 163 over 92 and second was 135 over 82. Should I go to the doctor to get meds or watch it for a while first?
I check my blood pressure regularly (doctor was concerned that it was inching up), however, it is generally close to 120/80. However, recently I received a few "wild" reading such as 140/135 - is that likely an error?
