Hello,

I would like to tell you that Blood pressure (BP) is an ever changing phenomenon. Blood pressure changes according to your activity level, emotions and physiological conditions.

Check your BP when you are in resting and relaxed at least for 15 to 20 min. If it is under 140/90 mmHg, then you need not any treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap
