Suggest Tests For Uncontrolled Hypertension

My mother who is 68 years old is suffereing from High Blood pressure for the past 30 years. The situation has aggreviated after my fahers death due to parkinsons disease. She went thru a lot of trauma and since then it did not come under control. The current reading is 167/84. She is using NEBIMAC+ ERITEL-H in the morning an PRAZOPRESS XL In the night. She is also adiabetic with her fasting serum glucose levelss at 145 Eralier she used NEBIMAC-H that kept thing sunder control. Now we are not getting that drug. Are there any other tests that need to be done for finding the root cause of this problem

Hi,
The drugs your mother is taking are pretty good & effective. Stress can cause bp to rise which may remain uncontrolled for a long time.
Still you can get some tests done to rule out any associated condition causing high bp. These tests are -
1) Kidney function test
2) Thyroid function test
3) Renal Doppler.

In the meanwhile i recommend replacing prazopress XL with Tab Bisoprolol 5mg at night.
