Suggest Treatment To Control Blood Pressure

my bp consistently reads around 170-185 / 80-95 and spikes at random to 190-203 / 80-103. I am extremely tired all of the time and my finger nails have started to curl under. My skin appears blotchy and I am get very short of breath. I was born with a congestive heart defect (an ASD & VSD that were repaired when I was 9).

Hello there. Your BP should be less than 140/90. You will need to be on antihypertensive medications. Prior to starting the drug you will need an echocardiogram to assess the cardiac status. Some drugs are not indicated in certain cirumstances. Take care.
