    Yeah it was three different nurses that came in and did the blood press cuff right after the machine won't read lower. They all couldn't get below 120/20 either. Then I asked the one nurse if she could so my RBC anyways. She did it and said it's perfect. Not to thick and not to thin. In was right where it needed to be. Crazy right

    High RBC can lead to high blood pressure not to a diastolic value of 20!
    I dont understand how can any medical staff tell you your blood pressure is 120/20, and not ask immediately for an ambulance to take you to the hospital.

    They didnt want your blood for some reason and made an excuse is my best bet.

    Regarding your blood pressure you should have a bp monitor at home:

    LOL. Your heart would fail real fast, since diastolic pressure is crucial to perfusing the coronary arteries (among other things).
