I ran a report showing the year, month, number of blood pressure readings, the average Systolic, the minimum Systolic, the maximum Systolic and the Systolic Std Deviation, followed by the average Diastolic for that month, the minimum Diastolic, the maximum Diastolic and the Diastolic Std Deviation.

I listed the monthly results for 1999, and for 2008, and the annual results 1999-2007. The columns of the report are not spaced real great, but the info is there.

So...... if you follow along with the following report: In February, 1999, based on 327 readings, I had an average Systolic of 154, a minimum Systolic of 117, a maximum Systolic of 203, and a standard deviation of 15........... an average Diastolic of 97 (whew, nasty!), a minimum Diastolic of 72, a maximum Diastolic of 124 and a standard deviation of 9.

These awful, unhealthy blood pressure readings were accompanied by Heart Failure, heart rhythm problems (jumping, skipping, racing, weak, strong, etc.), constant breathing difficulties, chest pains, weakness, fatigue, sweating, mental confusion and anxiety....... much anxiety.

As can be seen I was able to survive YEARS of Heart Failure and very unhealthy blood pressure and I still have a good quality of life, although somewhat restricted in what I can do. That should give a positive message to others, with less serious disease, that are also battling chronic, difficult to control, High Blood Pressure. High Blood Pressure is not expected to kill someone overnight, but needs to be maintained at a healthy level in order to maintain good health.
