Specializes in Cardiology

Yes: Never adjust your own meds. Call and talk to your dr first. Messing with your meds unsupervised can lead to serious adverse events.

If you take blood pressure medication and your bp is normal at home when relaxed, but when you experience stressful events at work or anywhere else and it gets high to unhealthy levels (150s,160s,170s systolic) do you need to get more bp meds?
