I've been taking medication for high blood pressure and I'm just wondering what the normal range for blood pressure should be. Can you give me some advice on this?

The normal range for blood pressure values is typically around 12080 mmHg. For individuals on antihypertensive medication, the target blood pressure may vary slightly based on individual health conditions and guidance from your healthcare provider. Generally, maintaining a blood pressure below 13080 mmHg is often recommended to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications. It's important to regularly monitor your blood pressure and follow your doctor's advice on medication and lifestyle changes to keep it within the target range.

Question

I'm a bit confused about my blood pressure readings. When I'm lying down, my BP usually stays under 12080. But when I sit up, it changes to somewhere between 13095 and 140100. I'm currently taking Telma, and I'm just wondering if these lying-down readings are reliable or if I should focus on the sitting-up ones. Do you think I need to change my dose, or does it seem like my blood pressure is under control based on the lying-down numbers?

I'm trying to understand what it means if a TMT result comes back positive. Does this indicate there's an issue with my heart? Should I be worried about any specific heart conditions?
