I understand your concern â elevated BP with anxiety after delivery can feel very unsettling. Letâs break this down:
---
### ð¹ Why BP is slightly high after delivery
1. **Anxiety & stress** â constant âfight or flightâ state can keep diastolic (the 90) persistently raised.
2. **Hormonal changes** â post-delivery, estrogen & progesterone drop, which can affect mood and BP regulation.
3. **Lack of rest, sleep disturbance, mobile overuse** â overstimulates the nervous system.
4. **Generalised Anxiety Disorder history** â makes BP rise during health worries.
ð Since your systolic (120â135) is not very high, but diastolic (90) is constant, this looks more **anxiety-driven BP elevation**, not primary hypertension.

### ð¹ About Ashwagandha
* **Good for anxiety, sleep, and stress**.
* Current dose (Himalaya Ashwagandha 2 morning + 2 night) is a bit **on the higher side** (usual is 1â2 tabs/day). High dose may cause gastric upset or excessive drowsiness in some.

### ð¹ About Divya Mukta Vati Extra Power
* Mainly for **mildâmoderate hypertension**, especially if linked with anxiety & stress.
* Contains herbs like Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, Mukta pishti â calming, BP stabilising.
**How to take (general guideline used in Ayurveda practice):**
* Start with **1 tablet after lunch** daily.
* If tolerated well and BP remains high, can increase to **1 tablet twice daily**.
* Safe to use along with Ashwagandha, but better to **reduce Ashwagandha to 1 tab morning + 1 tab night** to avoid heaviness.
---
### ð¹ Extra lifestyle support
* **Limit mobile use**: Fix screen-time cut-off before bed.
* **Breathing practice**: 5-10 min of slow deep breathing (Anulom Vilom, Bhramari) twice a day â lowers anxiety & BP.
* **Walking/yoga**: 20â30 min daily.
* **Diet**: Avoid excess tea, coffee, fried/oily, spicy foods â they worsen both anxiety & BP.
* **Sleep**: Maintain fixed sleeping time.

Suggested plan
* Morning: Ashwagandha 1 tab.
* After lunch: Mukta Vati Extra Power 1 tab.
* Night: Ashwagandha 1 tab.
* Continue for 4â6 weeks â recheck BP.
If still persistent above **140/90**, you should get checked by your physician to rule out
thyroid, anemia, or post-partum hypertension (rare but possible).

ð Your elevated BP is very likely **secondary to anxiety + post-delivery stress** rather than a permanent BP disease. With calming herbs, lifestyle changes, and anxiety management, it usually settles.
Would you like me to also suggest **a specific Ayurvedic daily routine (Dinacharya)** that balances both anxiety and BP post-delivery?
