GregP Nov 2019 12:11pm, 6 Nov 2019 115,968 posts	0 GregP This is a cut/paste for Smell and O50 so apologies for the repetition: The 'Apple Wacth ECG' was 'asymptomatic' according to the doctor but I'm going back for an 'proper' ECG this evening (16:40). Blood pressure is high but not astronomically so (127/90 today). I'm to get a home blood pressure gadget and monitor myself morning and evening for a week. I'm having a full blood test at the end of the month. We'll take it from there. So... all down to this evening's ECG. She (the doctor) said my pulse felt somewhat 'irregular'. We shall see. At this point I'm still frightened but perhaps very slightly less than I was an hour ago.
LazyDaisy Nov 2019 1:12pm, 6 Nov 2019 28,236 posts	0 LazyDaisy Sounds fairly reassuring Greg. Certainly your BP is in the foothills range compared to where mine was when I discovered I had high BP! I'm going to be trying out my new chest torch tonight. Slowly, just in case I trip

LazyDaisy Nov 2019 1:28pm, 6 Nov 2019 28,237 posts	0 LazyDaisy I got this one: amazon.co.uk I don't like head torches and attempts to be a cheapskate and pin the head torch to my running top were not very successful as the light bobbed about too much. I'm hoping the over-the-shoulder strap will stop said bobbing.

GregP Nov 2019 1:37pm, 6 Nov 2019 115,979 posts	0 GregP Where do people log their health data? TrainingPeaks is too obscurist, AppleHealth is phone-only - not even viewable on an iPad. Am I back to a spreadsheet? I s'pose MyFitnessPal might do it. Also assume there isn't a blood pressure logging feature on Fetch that I've somehow missed?
