Posted on Tue, 14 Feb 2017
Question: I feel basically fine, but I've been a little tired and light headed. In the evenings, my temperature goes up to about 100.9 and my blood pressure is 138/88 according to my home BP tester. Any thoughts?

Brief Answer:
I think you have hypertension and may need mild dose of anti hypertensive

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM,

Considering your age I think you have hypertension and may need a mild dose of anti hypertensive.

Regarding temperature, it is possible for the temperature to be slightly raised when blood pressure goes up.
To confirm---

I will suggest you monitor both temperature and blood pressure three times a day for two days and revert back to me so that I can advise you better.
