How To Control Hypertension?
Hello, I am 31 yr old Male around 5 Feet 7 inches tall and weight around 73. I have noticed my Blood pressure for the last one month and It's high and reached upto 160/110. I have no any coronary disease or any other chronic disease. No such family history but my father was hypertensive but in his late 50's. No other family history. Some reports attached. I am currently on a beta blocker medicine which is affecting my married life and have erectile dysfunction and lose my erection after some time as well. Please advise the possible cause of this hypertension as now it's under control with the medicines but sometimes I fear that even with medicines I am not feeling very good.
