Dear lybrateuser, - Try to keep yourself calm & relaxed by deep breathing when the doctor is taking your BP - should try lifestyle changes like dietary restriction, a salt restricted diet, avoid fried & junk food, alcohol & smoking if you do so - do regular exercise like walking, jogging, swimming, reduce weight if overweight, do yoga, meditation & deep breathing to reduce stress changes can be tried for 6-8 weeks - consult your doctor for further management taking into consideration all factors & investigation results.
