Your upper BP reading is that much? What about the lower one? What medication was given to you for anxiety?

Hey, so you're noticing some ups and downs with your BP readings, right? Normally having blood pressure around 90-105 is considered on the lower side compared to your usual 130. It’s not necessarily worrisome, but let's talk a bit about what's going on.
Anxiety meds can definitely play a role in affecting blood pressure, sometimes they lower it a bit while they're working. When you stopped taking the medication, your body probably needed some time to adjust, which might explain those lower readings you're now seeing. But, always good to check it further.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, we're looking at a couple of things to balance—just like the doshas. Vata dosha, which governs movement and flow, is something to keep an eye on, as imbalances here might cause sudden shifts in BP. Here's what might help:
1. Diet: Incorporate warming foods, like whole grains, cooked veggies, a lil bit of ghee, and spices like cumin and coriander. Avoid cold, raw, or dry foods, which can irritate Vata.
2. Hydration: Keep a good routine for drinking water. Infusing it with herbs like Tulsi can help too!
3. Stress reduction: Try some gentle yoga or pranayama; these practices ground Vata and support mental calmness. And, maybe a short daily abhyanga (oil massage) with sesame oil which is grounding and balancing.
4. Routine: Maintain a consistent daily schedule to help stabilize your system—eat, sleep and wake up at the same times.
Still, it's good to chat with your doctor about these changes in blood pressure. Just to rule out any underlying conditions or if any further tests needed. Can't stress enough that getting professional opinion is a good call, especially if you notice any symptoms like dizziness or fainting.
Take it easy and observe these things. Your body gives cues, and the trick is tuning in—alongside a little guidance from Ayurveda, it might just put you on the right track!
