Hello,
Your blood pressure is a lot higher than the normal range. I am happy to see that it is getting reduced from 205 to 184.
To me, should continue taking the medications as prescribed by your doctor, and keep monitoring your blood pressure and record the results for reference. After 1 week, discuss the findings with your caring doctor for further advice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini,
