How To Control High BP?
My bp is 172/104, with a pulse of 82. How bad is that really and what should I do to lower the reading? It diastolic has ran between 95 and 104 all day and last night. I am on mulitple pain medications which I would have thought would make the reading lower.

Hi,
You should see your doctor to prescribe a medication for blood pressure.
If you have medications at home, you can write what you have, and we will help you what to take until you see your doctor.
Also you should know, that pain also causes high blood pressure, if your pain is well controlled, it will lead to the decrease of blood pressure.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
