Suggest Treatment For Prehypertension
Hi Doc! I m 45 years old. I have pre-hypertension, average of 130/85. My family doctor prescribed Hydrochlorotizide 25 mg. Supposedly, I have to take it everyday but I m taking it as needed. I eat foods with no salt (using only Mrs. Dash) & minimize eating in restaurants. I also exercise everyday. Seldom my blood pressure will reach over 140/90. Also, I m planning to get pregnant. Is it too late to do it? Am I in danger? Please I need your advise. Thank you very much & MORE POWER!

Hi,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that at your age, pregnancy is certainly at high risk for you and for the baby. But nothing is impossible, if there is a close monitoring of the baby and mothers health.
Regarding hydrochlorothiazide, I would recommend taking it as your blood pressure values are above 130/85 mm Hg.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
