What Causes Elevated Blood Pressure?
i m 27 year old female, my blood pressure is 138/90, normally its around 113/80. i m currently taking propanolol 80mg for a tremor, so should the blood pressure be this high? only had my blood pressure taken because i ve had stabbing pains in the bone behind my ear. but they said my blood pressure, although high wasn t a result of my head pain, can t help but think it may be related?

Hi,
Propanolol 80 mg should be adequate to keep BP below 130/80 mm Hg. If not, you need to undergo an investigation to rule out any secondary cause hypertension, particularly reno-vascular in view of your young age.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
