Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am fifty eight and the doctor has been monitoring my blood pressure as a little high but didnt want to start me on medication just yet I eat healthily , i walk half hour each way to work every day , i work physically hard , i swim each week for an hour. Yet climbing a ladder at work yesterday I almost blacked out at the top.
Dear sir, firstly you have not mentioned the blood presure recordings. with exercise the blood pressure tends to shoot up. ideally monitor both resting blood presuure and ambulatory blood pressure. depending on the blood pressure we can let you know the treatment strategies. some tips to control blood pressure will be, salt restricted diet, decreased fat intake, reduced stress levels, good sound sleep.
