Am 35 year old female. Gave birth 8 months ago and my pressure levels have not normalized ,during pregnancy I was on medication for pressure. I do pressure monitor readings almost every day and its always between 115 -128 (sys) and 75-88 dia. After two days it tends to shift to 130-145 sys and 90-95 dia. When it shifts I always take one tablet of nifedipine (20g) and it normalizes back. Kindly advise me on what to do to keep it normal. Thank you.

Its not advisible to check bp every day unless there is specific reason. Give a gap of 4 -5 days and check it at the same time of the day. Bp will be fluctuating through out the day for every body basing on their physical mental activity during the day. Only thing is it should come back to normalcy after that acivity is over. The method of you taking nefidipine on and off is not correct. By this bp will be fluctuating causing harm to the body. Your targent should be sustained maintanance of normal bp. So every day you take minimal dose of nefidipine like 5 mg and basing on the bp reading you increase or decrease the dose. But you should achieve susatained maintanace of bp with or without tablet. Fluctuating bp always cause harm the body.

First of all I would like to take blood pressure 110-130 sys and 70-80 is normal. Second in 24 hrs blood pressure never be same when you sleep blood pressure will be different when you walk pressure will be different. Your blood pessure are entering into the initial phase of hypertension you have calcium blocker. I never recommend to the patient immediately start with allopathic blood pressure control. Anyone can control blood pressure with diet variation and little exercises.
