Hi Mark, thanks for passing on more info, were all your results taken at the same time of day, had you just eaten, drunk something or done exercise even needed the loo or just been, was there anything different in your routine.

Nobodies BP is static and will rise and fall, please don't stop your meds without consulting your GP

yeah I usually take it around 1-3pm or so

Just one high reading in a week and you're reacting like this? REALLY? A single reading never means anything. And was it an average of three taken at 5-minute intervals (the way you're supposed to do it) or a single reading? If it's the latter, it means nothing at all.

And it's never a good idea to suddenly stop taking BP meds without tailing them off. But hey, it's your life.

no my Dr told me to take it ONCE a day so thats what Im doing

Oh, I thought you said you'd stopped them all and thrown the rest out in your opening post. I must have misread it.

no Stil on the meds and BP was good for a wek and now its up, Still on the meds, ...Also My Ongoing Insomnia issue I have had for 2 and a half years dont help, I sleep maybe 3-4 hours a night and its VERY POOR sleep quality sucks...and Yes I had a Sleep Study last year they said I didnt have Apnea so I dont know what is wrong with me, tried alot of meds for it and still nothing comes out of it but tiredness and High BP

I was told to take it mid morning, about 10 am not to be too cold or too hot, not to need the loo and not too have just eaten or drunk, sit quietly with feet planted on floor and be in a chair that let's you sit upright.

5/10 mins later take your first reading then 2 more at approximately 3 min intervals, then add them together each reading systolic and dystolic and divide by 3, that should give your average BP reading at rest.

Like others have said don't just stop the meds, give them time to get into your system, you are young to have bp is there a particular reason do you know.

Insomnia as I said, My sleep is none or Very Poor, that and my parents have a big history of it

I would perceiver with tabs and maybe gets some help to developed good sleep patterns, is it u just can't get to sleep or you are an intermittent sleeper, disgusting as it sounds boil banana skin and drink juice, its good for sleep

Been trying to sleep at night but its only random and bad, Before 2014 I slept ALONG time 8-10 hours sometimes more, then all of a sudden no reason at all It Stopped and now its been awful

Oops, sorry Mark. It was your later post I misread. I now see that your once a day referred to taking your BP once a day not your meds.

I agree about once a day. However, most doctors these days suggest averaging three consecutive readings - all in a period of a few minutes - to get one reading. I almost always find that my first reading is the highest, and the other two come out lower, which brings down the average.

Well todays BP Reading is 153/87, So yeah 2 days now its still high....The Meds Worked first week now of course they dont

The diastolic is really not too bad at 87, and that's the more important reading at your age, provided the systolic isn't too high. In fact, it's not a bad reading at all, considering you're now off all BP meds.

Your emotional state can cause both figures to rise, but especially the systolic. Do you think you might have become angry or agitated about your BP? This would affect it.

I still think it would be a good idea to try the three-readings-in-a-row method, to see whether you get a lower reading on the second or third. That's how most of us do it. Can't do any harm, can it?

who said I was off, I said I was gunna but I actually still take it so no not off it yet which is why I mstill angy

After people to say to stay on them I did, The Bottle was in the garbage but I got them back out since people said to not stop so Im not till my Dr appointment on July 7
