Thanks Jac. It makes me feel somewhat better. I was thinking of maybe going to my GP later in the week to get my BP checked again just in case it was a one off and I'm worrying for nothing. I must say I was surprised given my past history and the substanial increase in my BP that my OB said he didn't want to see me for a week. Sometimes it really makes you wonder whether they really are in it for the patients or the money.
Lucky for me my son is fairly independent at 5 so it is not like having to chase a toddler around although the heat is starting to ramp up which doesn't help!
