Blood Pressure

In Feb'26  I got stressed out and became very anxious. I was put on Concor 2.5mg. All test 2D Echo and ECG were done and normal. Then at the same time I developed a UTI infection and after I got better I was put on Concor 5T as in the doctor office my BP went 150/100 whereas at home it has been 115-145/72-86 in that range, Now my BP is always between 110-118/62-76. I have been taking Concor 5T since a month now. Can I reduce and completely stop the medication as I never had BP before in my life, only during the time of my anxiousness it went up and only whenever my BP is checked at a doctor's place it goes up with the fear.

Febur 99 to 100

For the past two months, I have been running a fever ranging from 99°F to 100°F. I have undergone various tests—such as CBC, urine culture, routine urine analysis, CT scan, and tests for malaria and typhoid—and all the results came back normal. I have been tracking my temperature daily, and it consistently stays between 99°F and 100°F. What should I do next?

Anxiety and bp issue age 23

Hello Doctor, I am 23 years old. I am reaching out to consult regarding my recent blood pressure readings. For the past 1 to 1.5 months, I have been going through high stress and health anxiety. When I measure my BP at home using a digital monitor, readings come around 140/95 to 145/90 mmHg. However, a year ago, my BP was normal at 120/80 mmHg with a mercury machine, and all my ECG and echo tests were completely normal at that time. Could these high readings be temporary spikes due to stress and anxiety? Do I need medication immediately, or can this be managed first with lifestyle changes? Please guide me on next steps. Thank you
