Bp check at hospital is complusory?
I face this issue alot- i go for checkup n they want bp checked- now sometimes i can be stressed or dehydrated or standing for 5-10 minutes still they will check bp n it will be high like around 160/100 ( this was today)
I dont have whitecoat one coz 3 weeks ago bp at family clinic was 130/80- Its just that there r so many factors affecting bp so its impossible to not get high levels some days
Omron home readings average shows 125/80- average of 20 readings

Non-pharmacological treatment of hypertension focuses on lifestyle modifications to lower blood pressure, including adopting the DASH diet (high in fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy), reducing daily sodium intake, achieving a healthy weight and engaging in moderate aerobic exercise.
Other effective methods include limiting alcohol, quitting smoking, reducing stress through meditation/yoga, and increasing potassium intake.
