Should Medications Be Used For High BP?
My blood pressure is around 150 - 90 in normal condition. But if I am tired it goes up to 180 - 10 mg. In this context do you think that I must use drug?. If I use drug and drop the blood pressure figures to 120 - 80 can I leave to use drug?

Hello,
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that your blood pressure should be under 140/90, and is recommended for you to monitor your blood pressure and consult a physician for a written prescription.
You can do some lifestyle modifications to control high blood pressure
1. Low dietary salt
2. Physical activity for 45 min daily
3. Stop smoking/limit Alcohol
4. Avoid junk and deep fried food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
