Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i have a grandson who's bp is 140/80 lying down-147/80 sitting up-and 166/83 when holding his breath like he is scared..the doctor said it was due to his diabeties..so what is he expected to do..put him on med to protect his kidneys and heart..wht does all of this mean for his health in the future?
as your grand son is a diabetic patient ,his blood pressure should be less than 130/80. otherwise he will be risk for chronic kidney disease / heart disease/ strokes in future.so needs to start drugs for his blood presssure reduction and protection of kidneys . he may need further investigations such as urine micro albumin urea and serum creatinin. so consult a specialized general physician for further investigations and management.
