Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service!

I understand your concern and would like to explain that if high blood pressure values persist, adding another antihypertensive drug to your other ( an ACEI or ARB like valsartan, etc.) may be needed.

Did you mean 160/100mmHg? The reading of 106/102 doesn't make sense to me.

In the meantime, if your blood pressure values are so high, I would recommend taking 25mg Captopril sublingual.

A cup of lemon juice and some rest can help too.

I hope you will find this answer helpful!

Let me know in case of further questions!

Kind regards,

Dr.Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
