I'm in the process of being tested for donation. All of my blood tests, urine tests, chest xray and EKG were all normal, but my blood pressure was borderline....the best number was about 108/80. The worst number was about 118/86. Now they want me to do the 24 hour blood pressure monitor. I started it this weekend, but the cuff was way too tight, so I made it through only 3 readings, because it was cutting off my circulation. Each of the the three readings kept going higher, I'm assuming from the tight cuff??? I was just at the doctor on Friday and my bp was 104/68. I guess this is just a vent....I wish I didn't have to do the 24 hour monitoring. I'm so close......I'm a match, I'm healthy, all that's really left is the CT scan. I would be really disappointed if I couldn't donate now.
