Suggest Remedy For Facial Swelling And Dizziness With High BP
I am taking Telma 40mg for controlling bp levels in the range of 120-130/80-90 since last 3 years but recently I started feeling heavy head, irritation, swollen face and on checking bp, found the levels are in range 145-150/90-95 at different timings. I take low salt food, no sugar, 3-4 days walking 3-4km/day, water -2 to 2.5 lit/day. Please advice the best way forward to control bp. Thanks Tej

Dear Tej,
If you have swollen face I would advise you to have urinanalyse done and also check serum creatinine to exclude kidney problem.
If they come back normal and you continue to have the same complaints, then you should talk with your doctor to make some corrections in your treatment. In your case low dose diuretics may be added. It will help to avoid edemas and will regulate your blood pressure.
Take care
