What Does Shortness Of Breath Along With High BP Indicate?
noticed several days ago that moderate activity caused temporary shortness of breath. i have hypertension controlled by medication. My blood pressure is normally right around 120/80. at the moment it is 145/90 with a resting pulse of 90 which is normally in the low seventies. I am 72 and somewhat active.

Welcome to HealthcareMagic
with all activities blood pressure raises a bit and it raises further if the person blood pressure is already high
as the strain is put on heart and lungs with exertion so there is respiratory distress .
you should take tab telmisartan 20 mg once a day .as it is a prescription drugs please contact your local doctor he will prescribe this .
in addition to drug avoid tea coffee and fast fried foods .
you should go for morning or evening walk at moderate pace .
