Have Resting BP Of 133/97. How To Control The High BP?
Question: I have resting BP of 133/97 hr 83. Can ii exercise in a total body workout?
Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
NO
Not with this pressure at this age.
You should control the pressure better:
Aim for systolic (upper figure) – less than 140 (130 is ideal)
Diastolic (lower figure) – less than 90 (80 is ideal)
You may up the dose of Lisinopril (up to 20 mg) and/or add a second drug...
Discuss with your cardiologist and get appropriate prescription...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
