why would my husbands bp be within range, AFTER taking his meds around dinner time and when he took his reading again around 3
Hi, It is important to know what kind of medication your husband is taking for his hypertension. This is because medications have different onset of actions, which means that there can be a lag time before the blood pressure lowering effect takes place. Some medications also have a shorter duration of action which means that he may only have the effect for 12-18 hours, for which his blood pressure can rise again. I recommend a consult with a doctor for proper medications and dosing depending on his blood pressures. I also suggest lifestyle modification like low dietary salt intake and a regular exercise routine, which are both known to lower blood pressures together with medication intake. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
