Should I still take the prescribed Telma 40 if my blood pressure is only high when checked at the doctor's office but much lower when I measure it at home?
It is very common to have higher blood pressure readings at the clinic due to anxiety, a situation often called 'white coat hypertension.' However, please do not stop taking your prescribed Telma 40 (telmisartan) without consulting your healthcare provider first, as stopping abruptly can cause sudden spikes in blood pressure. I highly recommend keeping a daily log of your home blood pressure readings for a week or two. Share this log with your doctor, as these home readings are incredibly valuable and will help them safely decide if your medication dose needs to be adjusted or paused.
