Answered by Dr. Bhaskar Semitha
It’s great that you’re mindful of your blood pressure and have been consistent with your medication. Slightly elevated readings can occur due to factors like stress, diet, or underlying conditions. You might consider monitoring your salt intake, maintaining a balanced diet, and engaging in regular exercise. Always check your readings at the same time each day for consistency. I encourage you to discuss your current regimen with your cardiologist; they might suggest adjustments to your treatment plan.
