There is a huge difference in blood pressure between when I feel at peace and when I am tense.
When I am at peace, my blood pressure is around 100.
However, when stressed or nervous, it rises to 130 to 140.
Considering that home blood pressure monitors are not always accurate, a difference of 30 to 40 mmHg seems to indicate significant variability. Moreover, home blood pressure monitors tend to read about 10 mmHg lower than those measured at the hospital.
When I have something to worry about at home or get angry, I experience headaches along with a sudden spike in blood pressure. It can rise to around 140 to 150.
In cases like mine where blood pressure fluctuations are significant
Can I just take the prescribed low-dose blood pressure medication only when my blood pressure is high?
I wonder if there are anyone managing their blood pressure like this.
