I don't understand the health professionals and blood pressure. One doctor tells me my blood pressure is too high and I should go on medication the next that it is best to avoid medication unless you BP is very high and stays there.

I go to a chest clinic once a year. last year when I went the nurse was concerned and asked me to take readings twice a day for a week (I have a monitor at home) and work out an average then let her know.
I went to the chest clinic a couple of weeks ago and the nurse this year didn't even check my blood pressure or want to see the measurements I had been taking for a week previous to my visits.
All very confusing..
