Hello and welcome to HCM
You are on a good medication for Hypertension and Dyslipidemia. one or two abnormal reading of BP in a week is not a alarming sign for Hypertensive patients, unless it is constant. One abnormal reading may be due to anxiety, stress, work related issue, missed dose or dose not taken at proper time etc.
So don't worry and take the medication regularly as prescribed by your doctor. If Bloop pressure is constantly high than you needs to be revise your medication.
Hope you got your answer
