The body side has numbers attached. In an international study pooling 151 patients across 47 centers, 71% of those assessed were underweight, three quarters had extra early heartbeats, half had elevated systolic blood pressure, and about a third had a resting heart rate that was simply too fast.

I’ve found some form of equilibrium today.
My systolic BP yesterday was over 180, so I’ve restarted my anti hypertensive.
Got a GP appt next week for medication review in light of my new level of poverty.
Will just keep swimming (frantically dog-paddling) until then.

A sign-out that says "watch her pressure" hands the night team a worry. One that says "if systolic drops under 90, recheck, start the ordered bolus, call me" hands them a plan. I-PASS builds that line into every handoff.

Every time I have to wait for a prescription to be mailed to me it's always later than it's supposed to be. Been choosing the delivery option because I'm a caregiver, but my 'normal' systolic range with medicine can be as high as 165 and I have no meds as of yesterday. Wish me Zen.

it depends how often it is that, which is why the doctor’s asking you to do regular checks. if it’s a one off ‘white coat hypertension’ reading then no biggie, but if you’re reading 141 systolic on the regular then you likely need treatment

How do you treat a heart that fails but looks normal on an ultrasound? By tracking sub-visual motion in 83,569 patients, AI revealed that higher systolic left ventricular myocardial velocity is associated with a 39% lower risk of death (HR 0.61) in HFpEF.
AI scans find genetic drivers of heart failure
By tracking how the heart moves instead of just how much blood it pumps, a new deep learning model has mapped the hidden genetic drivers of a notoriously untreatable form of heart failure.

One weekly wall-squat session may maintain lower systolic blood pressure for four weeks after initial training. Longer-term effects remain uncertain.
A weekly session of isometric exercise training may maintain lower blood pressure
Reductions in blood pressure may be maintained over the short term with just one or two sessions of isometric exercise training a week, research published online in the journal BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine suggests.
