Noted other postings where blood pressure increased after PM.. Had extensive burising and bleeding for 3+ weeks after PM procedure Doc said no problem normal, but friends with PM's said only mild bruiseng gone in 1 week. Doc gave me hand written note to contact him when BP over 140 systolic advised Doc over 140 systolic, meds increased as above pressure with increased meds as high as 212/115 have contacted Doc but no response. Thoughts, experiences, comments etc. will be appreciated.
