Off topic: I've been having higher blood pressure readings and I couldn't figure out why. Today it dawned on I had started a new med a while back. Looked up the side effects and higher blood pressure was the first one listed. I have a physical in two weeks and my doctor and I are going to discuss how to manage the situation then. Also happy you found the answer. Praying doctor visit goes well.🙏

ann1953, What helped with my anxiety about it was my doctor told me to sit quietly for five minutes before taking it. That makes a difference, readings have been lower.

Wednesday, June 10: 123.6 - up 0.6 lb. Finally a day without the dramatic swings. bbbearsmom, when I have my BP taken I try to almost get into a meditative state, with steady relaxed breathng. It really seems to work.

lani, I took my blood pressure before and after meditation one day, and before and after my 5.5 seconds breathing exercise on day. In both cases my blood pressure was lower afterward, in one case by 15 points, in another by 19 points.
