I take 3 50 mg metoprolol a day 1 in the morning and 2 at night. I also take clonidine which always brings my BP down. It’s a constant battle with keeping it down and at a decent number. Lots of factors involved. 🤷‍♀️

how do you track your BP. I will do it in the morning 2 times, cause one is always higher than the other. And I do it when i get home from work. When I am off work, I will take my BP, several times a day. And it seems to be all over the place.
