Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, sh should definitely
consult doctor for this blood pressure reading.
Common causes for
hypertension in females are
1. Increasing age (stiffness of arteries)
2. Post menopausal age (low estrogen)
3. Family history.
So first two are likely causes in your mother's case.
She should definitely consult doctor and get done
1. Blood pressure control
2. Ecg and 2d echo to rule other heart diseases
3. Sugar level time rule out diabetes
4.
Lipid profile to rule out
dyslipidemia.
She will need antihypertensive drug like
telmisartan, Losartan, amlodipine etc.
Along with drugs, she also needs to follow some lifestyle modifications like salt restriction in diet, avoidance of fatty and oily food, regular walking or jogging etc.
Don't worry, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
