In all honesty Pdaddy and Plunkey, thank you ngrs for answering my question. Apparently the blood preassure cuff at Wal Mart was way to small. I couldn't do it on the machine, cause my arm would literally not fit into the hole, so the pharmacist checked it with his BP cuff, which was still too small. My doctor said he was sure that's why the reading was so high, I am suppose to see him today at 2pm. Apparently he thinks it's because I'm taking Claritan D, for my allergies, and that has it jacked up more than normal. Seriously no joose for a couple weeks now or maybe joose relaxes me and I need it to survive.
