Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband passed away last week, and since then I have been experiencing high blood pressure. I have only had this problem once several years ago when my father passed. At the time they told me it was stress related. After a couple of months, I never had to take blood pressure medicine anymore. I am planning to see the doctor later this week, but I am wondering at what level should it be considered urgent? I am currently at 152/101; I know that s really high, but just wondering if it s ok to wait until morning or if that is too dangerous.
Moreover you might have measured blood pressure in digital available instrument .. It might give variations and false results ..
So consult doc and measured it by using sphigmomanometer ....
You can consult doc in three to four days as you have planned if no symptoms present , but I would like to suggest you to consult as soon as possible ...
If needed in low dose you might given enalapril 5 mg taken OD daily ...
