Hi,
Thank you for posting your query on Healthcare magic.
I am very impressed with the good care you are taking of your health and I congratulate you for that.
Regarding hypertension (high BP), I wish to reassure you that if it is adequately treated, it does not pose any health hazards.
For you the target BP is systolic 150 mmHg (100+age), and diastolic <90 mmHg. So, you are almost there, you just need to bring the systolic BP a little bit down. This can be achieved by increasing one of the BP medications. Please discuss this with your doctor during your next visit.
Please continue the rest of treatment as at present, including your diet and exercise.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any more queries.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM
