Sudden rise in hypertension
I have never had a history of hypertension but in last 2 days I checked my blood pressure in a monitor. It is showing as 160/100 and pulse rate is 100 but before lockdown I had consulted a doctor just 4 months back. Should I start taking medicines for this. Is this to be concerned about immediately. I cannot understand as there is no other symtoms showing only the monitor is showing this value.
