Ketones 0.3
BG 95
BP 188/88
Pulse 49

I'm not very happy with my blood pressure and pulse. I've been checking my figures and as my bp goes up my pulse comes down. The practice nurse had said to go back and have it checked again, but she'll only say I need to see the doctor, so I'm going straight to the doctor - first available appointment 8th August - 2 weeks today and I'll keep on monitoring it up until then.

Still not back in ketosis even after 2 full and one half day of fasting. I'm going to carry on for a couple of days.

I'm having a happy time for all of that though!

Have a good one folks

Update: Low pulse is apparently often a symptom of CFS/ME which is flaring at the moment. I will still be contacting the doctor though.

Doesn't your GP practice have a "call at 8:30 for a same day appointment" service? Most I know have. Speaking candidly, are you sure you're not avoiding going? I'm not criticising but think hard on it, Mini. Big hugs 🤗

Or call 111. I believe they have access to most GP's same day appointments or at the very least send your GP their findings for when you call up. Your BP is awfully high and your pulse looks worryingly low to this lay person with some experience of family heart problems

I have problems getting out. I intend to ring in the morning and ask to speak to the doctor - for some reason the doctor's has started closing in the afternoon - or at least the telephone has.

Hey minitata.. call 111 and explain u have mobility problems. They can assess u over the phone and arrange an urgent dr review if required if that helps? From your worried friend Hugs 🤗
