Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Keep monitoring your BP 2/3 times a day. Kindly try doing pranayama in that days. If still it is not under control you can take tablet Amlong morning in empty stomach. even after taking medicine keep monitoring your BP. if its still not in control should increase the dose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
