I have been having issues with a high blood pressure. I have tried studying the pattern and trying to figure out what the root cause is but I can't seem to find it. When I check my blood pressure very early in the morning before work and late in the evenings after work, I get a reading of max. 127/85/76 same also applies to weekends. I use an Omron Series7 BP761N my private monitor and on weekends, I check it with that of a pharmacy which is also an Omron. But whenever I visit my Office clinic during working hours, I get a very high reading and recorded a peak of 153/101/71 on Friday 17th June. I had to be given a temporary treatment of Norvasc 5 mg Amplifying besilate to help reduce the pressure for a period of 2 weeks before a decision could be made to put me on a permanent medication. I don't really seem comfortable with the medication as the high BP could be work induced. I have tried checking all possible cause of the rise in blood pressure but to no avail. Please could you advise on what the cause could be. Nb: my dad is also hypertensive.

Yes, it can be due to working conditions or stress. To solve this, you have to undergo 24 hour bp monitoring and then consult a cardiologist.
