Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
There are a lot of factors responsible for rise in blood pressure. Mental stress, salty food intake are the common causes for the same.
In your case, I would suggest to go for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
It is 24 hours continuous recording of blood pressure.
This will show fluctuations in blood pressure.
This will help in increasing dose and change of time of hypertension drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Consult doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
