High BP after breaking fast

Hi all

I ended an 80 hour fast with scrambled egg and broccoli and a bit of cheese. My bpm is 125 and bp measurement is 146/92. Do I need to worry about this? I never had BP issues. Please advise urgent

Answer

Maybe unrelated but HR could go up if you’re thinking about it too hard, maybe mini panic attack worried “did I eat the right things after my fast” “did I miss certain minerals during my fast” this is just because of personal experience, but side note also BP and HR can go up after eating too. Idk about how high though.

Answer

At-home blood pressure machines are terribly inaccurate and read high and if you want a proper pressure use the correct sized cuff with a pump like they would at a hospital. My machine always reads me high at home but completely fine at the doctor’s office.
