Suggest Treatment For High Blood Pressure

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...

Hi my name is Daniel and I've just found out yesterday that my Blood preassure level has increased to 155/90. Is this an alarming rate? My BP was normal until I underwent a nasal surgery in December 2010. What should I do now?

Hi Daniel

I understand your concern

I would like to tell BP more than 140/90 comes under High BP. Monitor Your BP for some days if it stays more than 140/90 then it needs to be managed. First step to manage hypertension is Lifestyle Modification for 3 months that include weight loss, low salt diet, smoke/alcohol cessation and daily aerobic exercise of 30 min.

if even after this your BP stays more than 140/90 then it will require medication.

Hope this helped

Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Mahajan
