Hi! High BP ! Scary! Actually this thought itself will put the BP higher and higher. A positive feedback mechanism! If you have noted such readings today, I'd suggest you to measure your BP again tomorrow. If it still persists to be this high then you need to consult your general physician immediately. You might be having hypertension. Do not fear. One tablet a day and you will be as good as the rest of the population. A little exercise per day and you might be fortunate to skip that too!
