Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
The most important parameter that determine the need of blood pressure medicines are blood pressure (BP) readings. You would need to take medicines if you have one of the following blood pressure values:
- A systolic BP above 150 mmHg
- A diastolic BP above 95 mmHg
Unfortunately I don't have your actual BP readings, in order to give you a more accurate answer. Can you please send me your actual BP readings?
I'm waiting for the requested data!
Wish you health!
