Cardiac Surgeon,  's  Response
I hope you are asking about the blood pressure and remedy. This disease can come to anyone without any reason many times...may be because of genetic predispositions. That needs another antihypertensive. BP of 200/100 is little alarming. Better to consult a cardiologist and get treated.
