Brief Answer:
Please see the suggestion.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for your query.

Please check your blood pressure if you have a home sphygmomanometer. If not, get your blood pressure checked.
If it is normal, you would have taken the tablet.
If it is high, take the tablet ASAP.

Do get back to me if you have any further queries.

An alarm to remind you take the tablet may help in your busy schedule to remember to take the medicines.
May be a pill counter would be helpful to check whether you have taken the tablet or not.
