Blood pressure
I have started taking Telmisartan 40 mg for hypertension from the past 11 days at bedtime.
Now my blood pressure is 130/85
And at night half an hour before taking the med it's 140/90.
I started taking the medicine because my pressure was constantly at 140/90 to 144/92 .
Why is my BP not getting normal. Please help.
BP of 120/80 Should not be considered normal for all the population.
It varies with age, the place where they live, gender, their comorbidities and medications.
BP of 130 / 85 in your case is considered normal.
Continue the same medication.
Consent if you have any dizziness or uncomfortable with medication
Next Steps
Give minimum gap Of Two hours between the medication and BP measurement
Health Tips
Your blood pressure Is controlled by the medication .so BP before medication will be high. Once you take the medicine, your BP reduces.
