Is this blood pressure reading considered high? I've been doing a lot of driving over the last 3 to 4 days, and I'm worried it might be affecting my BP. What can I do to bring it down?
It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially after periods of increased stress or physical activity. To help reduce high blood pressure, you can try taking a medication like Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) at a dose of 5mg once daily. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and stress management techniques can also help in managing high blood pressure.
