Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Normal blood pressure is less than 140/90.
So blood pressure reading of 150/90 is considered as hypertension.
So your mother is having hypertension (grade 1).
Following is the treatment for your mother.
1. Ask her to avoid stress and tension and be relax and calm.
2. Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours.
3. Avoid excessive salt from the diet.
4. Do regular aerobic exercise like running, cycling, swimming etc.
5. Take amlodipine 5mg twice daily.
6. Give multivitamin and multi minerals tablet like folic acid, pyridoxine, vitamin B12, zinc, magnesium etc.
Don't worry, she will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
