Why The Blood Pressure Fluctuates While Stressed?
My husband's BP fluctuates frm 120/80 to 145/95 sometimes when he is stressed and sometimes even higher.He is 57 years old, 6' tall, 75 kgs, non smoker, moderate alcohol,very disciplined in food/exercise(daily 30 minute brisk walk), no other health issues.Both his parents have high BP.I feel he should go on medication, but he refuses.Should I insist he see a cardiologist? IF so can you recommend one in Bangalore. We stay in Richmond Circle.
Thanks

You need to worry if it crosses moe than 150 mark.
He doesn't require any medications presently.
But he must done his routine work up as pwr his age.
Tell him to get his ECG,ECHO,TMT, Fasting Lipid profile done.
Theb if everything is fine,he has to monitor his BP regularly and follow healthy life style with low fat diet.
All the best.
