I am using olmesartan h20 for hyper tension from 5 years, I am taking bp reading at home by automatic bp monitor frequently. My first reading always shows little high than 2 and 3 reading die to anxiety and stress. Which reading should be considered 1 reading or later reading. Pls suggest. Example: 1 reading 144/70. 2 reading 115/70. 3 reading 117/70. How often to check bp readings. Regards.

Please note that you should measure the bp once daily in morning and at same time every day. This one reading is to be consider valuable.

Automatic bp readings are very sensitive. Before measuring your bp, please lie down, close your eyes, relax for 2 minutes and then ask someone else to measure your bp.
