hi. first you have to eatablish if you are hypertensive. hypertension is not diagnosed on 1 bp reading alone. you gave to take at least 2 bp readings same hour of the day( we recommend morning before any activity), before we can say that you ate hypertensive. plus, if you hve a family history of hypertension, this increases your risk for hypertension.
