valh sorry to hear about your worries. I can't advise you about the blood pressure mines usually okay but once I went to the GP and it was very high and I had to go to the stroke clinic - thank god it was a flash in the pan. I wonder if when you feel unwell and have the flares could that alone push the BP up ? just guessing here - I would contact the GP just to put your mind at rest ;0)

i totally agree with you kayjay about your blood pressure going up when we feel unwell or have a major flare up, that would explain alot, hope you feel better soon valh. x

Hi Vahl! It might be totally un related to Arthur and meds. You might just have high bp. I do. When diagnosed it was 171/122 usually normal now with bp meds but have to watch it now on steroids.just a thought! Go well X
