Suggest Treatment For Persistent High BP
My blood pressure has been raised for over a week now between 129 to 157 systolic and 80 to 90 diastolic with pulse between 79 to 90. I have been having cups of soup daily which normally don t have and I also drink 1 full glass of wine a day. I am 59 so going through menopause as well. My normal readings have always been under 120 over 75 with pulse of mid 70 s.

Hi
Went through your post as you have mentioned that you are in 6th decade of life, with age the possibility of rise in blood pressure raises with each year, your blood pressure is not that bad to start BP lowering pills unless you are diabetic, I would suggest that that you dicrease your salt intake have healthy diet containing fresh fruits and vegetables and a brisk walk of 30-40 min 5 days a week, monitor your BP and come back after two weeks. Hope you are satisfied with answer.
