Are you using an electronic bp machine to measure bp? A lot of electronic machines give wrong diastolic bp finding (the lower number) and an accurate systolic bp (upper number) Accordingly the bp is under control and not low. A systolic bp of 130 in a female of ~50 years is accepted. No need to worry, continue the medications
Next Steps
continue the medicines.
