Suggest Remedy For Fluctuation In BP
I already wrote you but I do it again. I have High blood presure and I m taking medication for it. I check my BP and I need to understand something. After I relax for a few minutes I check my Blood pressure and it shows 130/88, I wait for 5 more minutes and check it again and this time is 122/77. What numbers I should write down for my doctor to see it. Higher or lower? Thank you.

Hi,
The lower reading you should write after you relax and sit down for about 15 minutes. It is the most accurate reading.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
