So, tell me about blood pressure and this clot situation?

The doctors at the hospital made a (not big, but consistent) deal about my BP in the hospital, which was all over the map. I mean, of course - I’m in a stressful situation! And the equipment is inconsistent as hell.

I have little concerns about this: my BP meds were changed [in response to (IMO) a bullshit concern about a sodium deficiency last year](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sodium-deficiency/950681/20) and I spent about a week after adjusting my meds monitoring my BP with an arm cuff and things were rosy.

**Are there any concerns _specific to blood pressure_ re this blood clot thing to be concerned about, or where they just being BP concern trolls?**

I was given instructions to follow up, and I will! - but wondering if this is BP concern trolling or about the clot specifically.

Thanks!
