I feel like my blood pressure readings are higher when I measure them with the automatic blood pressure monitor at the hospital. I think it's because I get nervous and I'm overweight.
I went to get my employment medical examination certificate again yesterday, but my blood pressure was too high, so I had to recheck it... I sat for a while and it came down to the 130s, so I just noted that and left. It seems to be prehypertension, can I manage it with a low-salt diet and weight control? My blood pressure fluctuates unpredictably and varies greatly, so I bought a blood pressure monitor. What are the typical symptoms of hypertension? Once I start taking medication, do I have to keep taking it continuously?
