I have taken it immediately, but I typically take it a couple of minutes after feeding the cat and taking my meds, but before they take effect.GW are you taking your BP right at wake up before meds?
I have two machines, which say pretty much the same thing, as does my doctor's office.I would barrow another BP mach and see if they are same readings
also is BP the same or close to same in each arm?
If you get a difference of say 120/80 and 130/85 that is not bad
but 120/80 and 160/95 in diff arms could indicate some type of blockage.
in the lower reading side.
