Brief Answer:
I would recommend as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HMC!
I would explain that these blood pressure changes are related to the activation of sympathetic nervous system during physical activity.
But as your blood pressure values are high in the morning, they can cause chronic damages in the blood vessels.
That is why, high blood pressure should be treated.
Olmetec seems to be a good treatment choice.
I would recommend start in low doses and increase slowly.
Other treatment options would be valsartan or a calcium channel blocker ( amlodipine, felodipine, etc.).
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Kind regards,
Dr.Iliri
