What would you do? HCT vs. BP

[SS1LE]

I really don't believe your blood pressure readings are right. You need to check your blood pressure daily, not just occasionally. It can fluctuates so much.

This... your blood pressure can vastly change in a matter of minutes, honestly you need a good bp monitor. Welch Allyn 1700 is one of the best home monitors. It uses the same algorithm as the clinical grade ones they make.

Yes, they fluctuate, and when my e2 is lower, they the lowest it gets is still higher.

I have a great one and years of religiously and obsessively checking it, I’m very well aware of its fluctuations, peaks and valleys. You can trust those blood pressures I’ve mentioned.

My doctor wants my last 15 days of blood pressure readings and then she takes the average.

Right, and my resting BP average is between 130-140/80 with the lower dose resulting in lower e2, or 115-130/75 or so with a higher dose and higher e2, but results in a HGB of 18.5 and HCT of 54. Those are months on average also.
