Blood pressure

2025-08-29 14:48:45
Doctor, I am confused whether i have blood pressure or not. When I check my bp in home it is 130/80 or 140/80 and when I visit hospital with my mother my BP is 147/102 & 145/96. Why BP is different in home and hospital? Do i need any BP medicines. Please guide.

These is commonly seen in many people When we reach hospital bp will raise Because it's a different environment from your comfortable zone Don't worry just monitor bp because at  home, occasionally your readings is 140 So do salt restriction diet Monitor bp in home only
