hi,
you did not mentioned on what anti hypertension medication you are.
And one reading of 157/80 , don't be worry , as your heart rate under control
you avoid salt , reduce stress , stop smoking if you had it will decrease your B.P.
continue digoxin and warfarin .
consult your doctor if need add another anti HTN drug.
