Is It To Be Concerned About The High Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure has been 148/101 for the past 3 weeks. I feel light headed, dizzy, seeing black spots and have swollen legs and ankles. Went to Urgent care and was diagnosed w/a sinus infection (2 weeks ago). My mother died of a mass stroke at 56 and had high blood pressure since she was in her 30 s. Do I need to worry?
yes dear... you have a reason to worry. high blood pressure is always dangerous.. please consult your docter for the right bp medications. hope your sinus infection is cured by now..my concern is your swollen feet... that is something to be worried about also.. try reducing your salt intake for a few weeks .. healthy diet and also good cardio workout should help you control your bp.. since your mother also had d same problem its advisable you get regular health check ups done. hope i was able ti help you. thank you. do rate my answer
