At a doctor appointment a few days ago three readings were taken. They were: 

180/100, 170/96 and 174/92. I had been using the Oxytrol patch for several weeks prior to this, but I had removed it the day before my appointment while showering and had not replaced it. This doctor told me to see my Internist the next day, who when taking the readings first got a 160/70 and than after waiting another half hour or so had his nurse take it again. This time the reading was 140/30something. Which was still kind of high. (I still did not have the patch on and I have not used it since being a little afraid that it may have contributed to the high readings. No, I didn't mention the patch to either doctor as I hadn't thought about the possible connection. Can use of Oxytrol cause high blood pressure?
