Bp measuring advice plz read
One month ago I went to the doctor for a viral cold/ cough and at that time my bp showed 140/100. Do doctors recommend checking after a few days. So I checked it after recovering from cold and cough and took bp readings which came around 140-90 and this is where my BP phobia started after googling on the internet about high bp. So I went to the hospital and they checked my bp it showed 130/80 and they checked my bp again in lying position and it was 120/80 and third reading 120/70. And the next day i took all the heart tests ( ecg, 2d echo, tmt, CBC, x ray pa view, lft. Lipid) everything was normal. The doctor recommended that I exercise and monitor my bp for 2 months. Within 1 week of proper sleep and walking my bp range is around 115-130/60-85. But whenever I see any news or anything related to heart attack or heart disease I get anxiety and when I check my bp that time it goes 150/80 but when I get relaxed and take reading after 5 minutes it comes back to 120-130/70-80. plz advice
