Suggest Treatment For Border Line BP And Creatinine
I am 71 yrs old, I run about 3 miles 3 to 4 times weekly. Recently my blood tests came back with a Creatinine level of .99. My blood pressure is borderline and I am not taking BP meds at this time. Do I need further testing? I know it is important to drink enough and I am not good at that, but how concerned should I be?

Hello,
You should take tab amlodipine low dosage for blood pressure. Serum creatinine is to be ignored as such. Avoid dehydration, pain killers and nephrotoxic drugs as amikacin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
