Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello Doctor, HRU, i am monitoring my BP my upper arm digital monitor in the moring it is always above 14o systtolic and above 80 in dyastolic. when I check in the clinc it is always 130/90or 130/80. Actually I was taking the medicine candesartan cilexetil 8 mg daily, but suddenly my BP dropped to 105/75 and went to the GP and was told stop medication. He monitored 10 days without medication it was in normal range, then the doctor adviced me to come and check your BP after a month. Doctor please advise me why the difference between the morning BP and evening BP.
Blood pressure fluctuations could be related to anxiety. From the other hand, the digital monitor is not the best tool to monitor your blood pressure values.
For this reason, as your blood pressure values are stable without anti-hypertensive therapy, I would agree with your doctor on the recommendation of stopping BP medicine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
