27 Year Old With Hypertension. Olmezest Prescribed. Fluctuating Blood Pressure Levels. Need To Be Worried?
Hello Doctor, I am 27yr old Male and have been diagnosed with Hypertension . In past also, my BP has been on a higher side and now it has remained around 160/90 levels. Cardiologist has prescribed Olmezest 20 which I am taking from a week now. My BP for Day 1 after taking the medicine was 120/80 and now its back to 160/90 levels. Should I be worried? Should I wait for another week before going to the doctor? Is the dosage less? Thanks & Regards

hello and welcome,
as you are young with hypertension you should take it seriously. Because high blood pressure has a bad effect heart, brain, kidney etc. My advice for a complete check up with ECG, Cholesterol, Sugar etc.
you ask your physician for all details of diet and exercise.
Thank you for your queary
Wish you Healthy Heart

Hi,
I hope you have been completely investigated for your hypertension before starting the medication. Hypertension to start at your age is a rare phenomenon, and secondary causes need to be found out.
A reading of 160/90 is definitely abnormal and high for your age. Do you have any positive family history?
Yes a dosage correction also may be required. But it takes few days for any drug to act.
