I do have a two week appointment, and a BP monitor here (although spouse says it may not be accurate...) I have a new BP monitor on order.

I am sure something will bring it down, and maybe I need to give it a week before I start to convince myself it is not working.

Appreciate your replying to me. I don't want to ge 'obsessive'-but this is the first chronic-needs-meds condition I've dealt with for myself.
