Hi,

You needs to be started on potent BP medicines like Telmisartan 40/12.5 or losartan 50/12.5. Also 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 at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week.

Eat 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 your lipid profile and sugars tested once. So get your medicines modified.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
