Hi ! thanks for the Query on HMC.
No need of worry... You are in monitoring by GP. If any abnormality will occurs your GP will Guide you.
For one thing, blood pressure fluctuates over the 24-hour cycle, depending on a person’s activities . Also, some people have what’s known as white-coat hypertension — their blood pressure spikes upward in a physician’s office or other health care setting. Others have “masked hypertension” — normal in a health care setting but high at home. Home monitoring can also provide a better sense of how well a medication or other blood pressure–lowering strategy is working.
