How can I overcome my anxiety during blood pressure checks to prevent temporary spikes in my readings, and is it possible to avoid starting new blood pressure medications while I am already taking Betacap TR 40mg and Neomercazole 10mg for an overactive thyroid?
To help manage this, try taking slow, deep breaths before a reading, or monitor your blood pressure at home in a calm, familiar setting where you feel relaxed. Logging these home readings can give your doctor a much more accurate picture. Since you are already taking Betacap TR (propranolol), which is a beta-blocker that naturally helps lower blood pressure and heart rate alongside Neomercazole (carbimazole), you may not need additional medications if your home readings are normal.
