Suggest Treatment For High BP

Hi Doctor, I am 32 years old, and was diagnosed with high BP last month. I ve been taking my medication every day, but this weekend I had a few drinks on Saturday and today and it feels like my BP is high. I haven t measured it though. I took one 25mg diurette this morning. Can I take another pill or half a pill now? It s been approximately 15 hours since my last dosage.

Hi,

I would advise you to measure your blood pressure. It is forbidden to take medication without measuring BP , as sometimes it can be low or normal, but you feel as it is high. It is not safe to take medication without measuring BP

Regards,
