I realized this a couple years ago when I moved and started getting my blood tests done at a new lab that was nearby.
My entire life I’ve had perfect blood pressure, but suddenly this lab thinks I have hypertension. After 3-4 visits and checking my own BP during the day, I realized that my blood pressure is just higher in the morning - I never set appointments in the morning previously because I lived too far from a lab to make morning appointments convenient.
- greenish_shores 2y agoWhat makes them think you have hypertension with purely blood laboratory tests? Electrolyte levels ratios? They aren't changed in all types of hypertension (won't be changed in most, probably), but that's just my wild guess.
- devmor 2y agoJust the blood pressure. It wasn’t a diagnosis so much as a “this seems concerning, you should get this checked out”.
