Question : what can i do to lower my blood pressure now . the last reading was 190/93. is this dangerously high.
Brief Answer:
Healthy lifestyle and medicine
Detailed Answer:
hello,
It's certainly high, you need to take medicine.
I usually start my patients in my clinic on tab Telma ch 40/12.5 once a day. Well monitor BP and if doesn't adequately respond then need to add some more medicine.
You should undergo renal function test, sugar, hba1c, fasting lipid profile.
You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get back if some doubts are there.

would melatonin 3 mg have any effect on bp. i have chrons disease and take humeria shots once a month. i also take metoprolol succinate 200mg.
Brief Answer:
Not significant but humira does have
Detailed Answer:
Melatonin has no significant effect on Bp but humira does increases the bp in around 5% of patients. But you cannot be off humira and better option to add other antihypertensive. Metoprolol is not a very potent antihypertensive and you arealready taking very high dose. You need to be added on other antihypertensive so you discuss with local doctor regarding telma.
