I’m getting an ADHD assessment soon and I’ve been sent a blood pressure monitor. I did a test just now and it came up 144/97 which is apparently high (stage 1 or 2 hypertension depending on the diagram you check).
I was caffeinated at the time so I’m gonna try tomorrow but I’m curious what my target mmHg should be for when I’m making changes to my health.
Side note but if I’m regularly getting to stage 2 hypertension to barely keep focus at work and crash shortly after then maybe that’s a good example of why unmedicated ADHD lowers your life expectancy
I would recommend using one of those machines they have at pharmacies for a more accurate result, and also make sure you’re doing it several times in a row. The number I get after 3 or 5 times is always much lower than the initial number.
