BP around 140/85 since 1 year
I was diagnosed with Anxiety disorder two years ago and was on medication for the same. Now I am free of Anxiety and not taking any medicine. But my BP is around 140/85 always since 1 year. And it keeps fluctuating. Sometimes it goes down to 135/80, sometimes it goes up to 145/90. Should I take medicine to control my BP? If so which medicine I can take now? And quit the medicine slowly once my BP is under control? Which bp medicine has less withdrawal symptoms?. Kindly advise. As I am worried on the fact of taking BP medicine for lifelong.
