Bp tablet only 'controls' bp at certain level but does not cure permanently. Don't stop or change bp dosage without consulting your physician.

You may do a bp chart at home like 2 or 3 recordings of bp in a week. Either you can measure your bp through electronic bp apparatus from home or record from nearby clinic. If it is stress related hypertension most of your home bp recording will be normal. In that case you don't need medication.
