HELLO AND WELCOME.

FIRSTLY , U NEED TO HAVE DIAGNOSIS WHETHER U HAVE HYPERTENSION OR NOT, JUST ONE ELEVATED READING DOESNT DIAGNOSE HTN.

DO A 24 HOUR AMBULATORY BP MONITOR TEST
OR TAKE READING THRICE A DAY FOR A WEEK.

EXERCIZE , DIET CONTROL, BANANAS, GARLIC HAVE SHOWN SOME BENEFIT SO U SHOULD CONTINUE LIFESTYLE CHANGES.

SO I WOULD RECOMMEND A SURE DIAGNOSIS BEFOR MEDS.
PLUS AMLONG 2.5 IS ALSO USED FOR MIGRAINE PROPHYLAXIS AS ITS LOW DOSE CCB.
FOR HTN AMLONG IS NOT THE FIRST LINE DRUG.


SUMMARY
PLZ GET THE FOLLOWING DONE
HBA1C
CBC
PLUS THE BP READINGS AND LET ME KNOW SO I CAN PRESCRIBE THE PROPER MEDICINE.

THANX. HV A NICE DAY
