When I check the BP sitting it shows 150/100, but when checked sleeping it shows 140/90. So should I start taking tablets?

Wait Recheck in early morning before out of bed As blood pressure is correct early morning. If more than 140/90 then will consider medication Try yoga relaxing excercise for some days
