In reply to HELP PLEASE! MAOI and high blood pressure, posted by FrequentFryer on September 3, 2008, at 4:43:48
In my opinion, high blood pressure (and from those two readings, yours may be high) is really nothing to fool around with.
Do you take a lot of caffeine?
My best advice for you would be before you make any drastic med changes would be to purchase a calibrated home upper arm blood pressure monitor (not a wrist one). One issue with measurement is that there can be significant differences between monitors and you need a consistent measure.
A good one is the HEM-780REL model.
Take your blood pressure at the same time each day. If it remains above 140/90 consistently, then you need to consider some changes.
