Hello Abdul! Thank you for asking on HCM! I understand your concern, and would like to explain that as long as your BP fluctuates between 120/80 - 135/85 mmHg under treatment, your current therapy is effective. To properly judge about therapy optimisation, there is a need for an overall BP values during the entire day-night interval for a couple of days.

If your BP shows several bouts of abnormally high values max to hypertension grade I, and this occurs only when you feel tense, it doesn't seem to be any immediate needs for BP therapy adjustment. Just try to look after your psychological conditions, to autocontrol your anxiety and avoid increased stress.

If BP fluctuates even outside periods of excessive stress, then it is necessary to modify your BP therapy; probably to increase medication doses or add another antihypertensive drug. You need to talk with your prescribing doctor about the above mentioned issues, after providing the recommended BP measurements.

Hope to have been helpful! Greetings! Dr. Iliri
