Stress: Share your circumstances with your caregiver. Stress can easily impact blood pressure. It will be difficult for you to remove the stress related to your caregiver responsibilities - life will always have stress, so don't be adverse to considering initiation or adjustments in your BP medications. The doses can always be reduced if your stressors abate.
