Suggest Treatment For Hypertension And High BP
Hi i am 23years old! I have had problems with hypertension starting almost two years ago which was initally thought to have been caused by the pill, i was started on hypertensives which were stopped when my blood pressure was controlled. However since then i have continued to often get high blood pressure readings but they are inconsistent and recently have started to feel a bit light headed. My only health history is a goitre, as i have a positive antibody i m not on thyroxine yet but get my blood tested every six months. What could be causing this? shuld i be concerned???
