Kindly consult a psychiatrist and take anxiety reducing medications. Hypertension is common manifestation of anxiety. Usually anxiolytics are given for a period of time, and there is significant improvement. Many a times even the bp medications may not be needed too. Good luck.

The lowest recording is “true” BP. Measure BP only once every month on fixed dates after resting for ten minutes. If it is less than 140 your body is ok, don’t measure it again. If it is more than 140 rest for 5 minutes and measure again. The lower recording is the “true” BP
