[quote=Anonymous]Well, I can tell you my top number is about 20-35 points lower at home and my bottom number is between 5-10 points lower. I took my readings every day for a month to find that out. I still started meds because my evening blood pressure was in the 140/90 range while morning was normal. My doctor said she could go either way, but my weight is normal, eat a very healthy diet, and exercise daily. I just didn’t think I could realistically make improvements without going a little crazy. I’m sure I can lower my stress, but that’s not something that is going to happen in a month. I’m on the lowest dose of hydroxythiazide. It made me pee more than first but I feel like I adjusted (or it just doesn’t matter because I work from home). I like the fact I lost a pound or two of water weight and my belly is flatter, but my BP hasn’t really changed. I’m hoping that when I see my doctor that she switches the med instead of adding another. I’m 44 and female. [/quote]
