Hi. Please Don?t start medicine based on 1 BP reading. Buy an electronic BP instrument and do home BP monitoring for at least 2 weeks. For BP monitoring check your BP in the morning time - before checking relax on a chair for at least 10 mins. Don?t record your readings at the time of headache or bodyache, make sure you are properly relaxing before checking your BP. We can review after 2 weeks with BP chart. Thanks.
