Can I Travel When Having High BP Like 150/120?
Hello, welcome to Healthcare Magic, If he is a newly diagnosed Hypertensive then i suggest you to take minimum of 3 readings with atleast 15 mins apart. If he is already hypertensive patient then he can travel after adjusting his present dose . regards, DR.VENKAT M.D
