Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I take Diovan 80mg, one q d, I have been out for a week. My blood pressure today was 150/96. The nurse said I should get it. The pharmacy is willing to give me meds to last til my doctor is back in the office. Is this a high blood pressure and is it risky?
I would like to tell you that you can wait if he is coming back in 3-5 days & keep monitoring your BP. If he on long holiday then start taking Amlong 2.5 mg in the morning and see your doc as soon as he arrive back in OPD.
Hope this helped.
Kind Regards
