From last six seven months I have been closely monitoring my bp at home regularly on digital bp meter and my maximum readings are mostly around 123/75.124/70.128/80.132/80. 135/70.126/70.137/80.142/80. Etc. But whenever I visit my doctors clinic it shows around 160/90. Meanwhile two months before I have done several tests such as diabetes, thyroid,kft, lipid profile, ecg,2d echo, chest ex ray, usg pelvic, and all were perfectly normal and no abnormalities detected in any of these tests. Since then my doctor has prescribed me avacard 5 mg tab. My question is that do I really have high bp because at home on digital monitor it seems to be normal and at my doctors clinic it is around 160/80.160/90. Will I have to take bp medicines through out my life.

You seem to be having the white coat hypertension, a term we use to describe when patients have high BP in hospitals or clinic but otherwise normal. Hopefully the BP machine you use at home is well caliberated, if so then you don't need medication. Walk daily for 40-45 mins, eat healthy, avoid junk food, smoking, caffeine, papad, namkeens, and pickles etc.
