A member asked:
If i lay down flat for three minutes and take my blood pressure it is 123/86. if i stand up, and remain still, and wait three minutes it goes up to 142/107. is this normal? i'm taking the lowest dose of valsartan daily?

BP is highly variable. Both these numbers are higher than desired: 123/86 is only slightly elevated but you definitely don't want it near 142/107 most of the time. Keep taking your BP a few times a day, in various positions, and keep a record of the results. When you have several days' data, show the record to your doctor and then discuss possible changes in your treatment. Good luck.

I read that Valsartan lowers blood pressure by 8-10 points but when I took 80mg I went down to 107/60s from 130s/80s after a couple of months. Now I take 40mg and get around 118-123/70s. Only 80mg is FDA approved for hypertension so what's going on?

Currently on Valsartan 40mg. My blood pressure usually goes up to 160/100 when I'm anxious, but is 110-118/64-74 when relaxed. Can I increase the dose to 160mg or 320mg to lower the maximum bp or does it only work on baseline bp at rest?
