Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You have hypertension, and relieved, by medicine, and it is normal, every time you get checked.
Only in the mall, when you get checked, you got a reading of 172/102,still fluctuating. It means it may not be correct, and you will be under exertion in the mall, so there is possibility of having a high reading. If you sit down for some time and the observe, you can have normal reading. It is a physiological variation.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses,sprouts, and protein rich foods to have a good health, and resistance.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you. .
