* there are symptoms of low BP (giddiness, weakness, blackouts),
* repeated readings are consistently above 135/85 at home,

Next Steps
* Continue regular BP monitoring at the same times daily.

* Avoid excessive salt, dehydration, and irregular sleep.
* Maintain walking/exercise and healthy weight.
