Learn to use the BP kit. They are easy, especially if it is the wrist kind. Most wrist BP kits work this way. Wrap it around your wrist so the meter is on the inside of your wrist. Put your arm/wrist at chest level and push the on button. When it shows zero, push the start button.

Tell your doctor that you get headaches when your BP rises due to anxiety. Ask about propranolol or atenolol vs a benzo. I have propranolol. My wife has atenolol. They do the same thing. My wife can take 1/4 of a 25 mg atenolol and get results. The doc says 1/4 should not make a difference but it does.

It is always good to have a pill splitter when using drugs like benzos or beta blockers (propranolol). Then, you can split pills to find the minimum dose that works.

If I need a clonazepam, I get the relief I need from 1/2 of a 10 mg tablet. I only need either one during high stress events.
