Question: I am worried about my blood pressure. It has been high all day today.
Brief Answer:
You need to attend ER.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Let me inform you that the drugs taken for hypertension do not produce the effect on dose to dose basis. These drugs when taken for a long period of time cause downregulation of receptors thus producing the effect. Normal blood pressure usually rests at 120/80mmHg, but your blood pressure is 178/110mmHg.
The blood pressure mentioned by you is quite high and considering your age and also other symptoms such high BP can lead to complications as stroke,neuropathy,heart issues etc.
You need to be under observation and require continuous monitoring of Blood pressure along with investigations as Blood test, ECG,stress test.
The blood pressure is to be lowered initially by means of medications which might be administered in injectable form.
Kindly visit an ER so that you can be monitored regularly and also to avoid any complications.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
