Hi Dr., I am male aged 64years. I have known case of 1. Peptic acid disease(well under control) 1. Allergic Rhinitis and fungal sinus(take some medicine when required, often during winter) 3. SLE, under medication for the past four years by taking Hydroxy chloroquine 200mg and rarely take NSAIDs. I have never had any BP problem. But when I had appointment for SLE on 01st June'2016, they told myBP is 92/172 as per digital device and advised to check it for 3 more days. on 02-06-2016 it was 89/161 digital device & 82/140 mmHg as per manual device. on 05-06-2016 it was 82/173 as per digital device. Now my question is whether I should take any medicine for high BP or to check for few more days and which is better digital device or manual one. Please advice. Thanks. days. I am living in Qatar and don't have much source to pay as I am getting free treatment from Govt hospital.
