General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi and thank you so much for this query

Please, it would be important that your doctors examine you fully to confirm this diagnosis and make sure there is no other cause of this condition before treating. Treatment of high blood pressure requires regular exercises, diet and lifestyle modifications, and medications. Also, this is a longterm treatment should it be started and I will like to see this done by a doctor who can evaluate and make adjustments accordingly. In all, consult you primary care physician for confirmation and management.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
