Suggest Treatment For Controlling High Blood Pressure
My blood pressure has changed over the past couple of month, it is 120/94. Iv been treated for a chest infection and been on antibiotics and steroids. My Chest xray is clear, but i am still out of breath and often feel like someone is sat on my chest. They have given me an inhaler which i use now and again. I stopped smoking five months ago, but i have also put on two stone. Iv been tested for COPD today, all seemed to go well. Just worried about my blood pressure and work. Im off sick at the moment and due to go back on Friday, should i remain on the sick or go back.
Many Thanks

it would do me great help if i could know your age and what happened to the copd test was it positive? and as long as your Blood pressure is concerned it is not very high that can't be the cause of breathing difficulty I request you to see a pulmonologist and get further investigated
