Suggest Treatment To Control Blood Pressure

I have recently found out that my blood pressure is running a little high. I started physical therapy and last week my bottom number was just about 55 but has continued to rise even at rest. My lower number has been staying mostly in the 90 s. Occasionally lower. My top numbers averages 121 from waking up to 155 in the middle of the day. However at 12:45 am this morning I took it and it was 122/102 at rest. I take Vyvance and I think that may be the cause because I have never had a problem before. I have a Dr. appt. next week was the soonest they could get me in. Should I wait until then or go urgent care when it gets that high?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Frequent checking of blood pressure can trick the readings itself. You must go to your doctor according to your given appointment and in the meantime, you should not check your blood pressure unnecessarily. Let your doctor determine your BP. To say you have hypertension, the doctor might check your BP several times at several hours of a day within a weeks period. The average is take as your blood pressure. Stress, anxiety etc can cause temporary hypertension. Please let your doctor determine your blood pressure. In the meantime, stop worrying and exercise. Take care.
