mikep Feb 2019 9:10pm, 22 Feb 2019 463 posts	0 mikep I was advised to have my bp measured by an eye specialist who found I have a cotton wool mark on a retina. I did and it is 198/101 which seemed to alarm the GP. She has put me on 5 mg Amlodipine. I am booked for the 24 monitor in a couple of weeks. Any thoughts or advice?
