High Blood Pressure when Lying Down
I am 25 Years male, strictly vegeterian, no alcohol or smoking.
I have mild to moderate hypertension since 7 years. I am on treatment i.e., Telmsiartan 20 one tablet in the morning.
Since 3,4 days back, i started feeling mild suffocation, hence checked the BP which was around 160/100 while lying down.
But when sitting in the chair it comes down around 130/70. My doctor has increased dose of telmisartan 20 to 40 one tablet in the morning.
But still, while lying down my BP reading is 150/95 or 150/100.
