Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. You should not worry about. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. You should know that when we treat hypertension our goal is to keep mean blood pressure values below 140 / 90 mmHg. A person might have high value during emotional and physicals trees so It's mandatory to judge on mean values. Hypertension is a chronic disease, and it should be treated all live long. You should not worry, the most important think is to find a good treatment to control it and every think goes fine. If I was your treating doctor I would recommend some examination like a cardiac echo, a full blood analyze to check renal function, and a holder pressure monitoring to evaluate your mean values during day and night. After all this we can judge if it is necessary to rise your actual medical dosage or add another class of antihypertensive Chat Doctor. Hope I was helpful. Best regards,
