Thanks for using HCM
I read your concern about increasing BP evenafter taking drugs
I suggest you to take another blood pressure reading after u relaxed 5mins in sitting position before taking bp tablet in morning and consecutive reading after half hour after taking tablet in same relaxed position..
evenif you get same as more than 160/100then should evaluate under guidance for raising BP.
Hope this is useful.
thank you Dr Kingson John David
