Hi, may I answer your health querieDear Ask The Doctor: I am an asian male aged 52. I dont drink or smoke and cycle roughly 10km for five days a week. I am slightly overweight. I have never taken a single day off my work due to illness for the last 15 years. I have been under stress for the last 3 months because I am trying to put my son to college in the states. Recently my doctor told me that I had high blood pressure because the lower reading was 96. He has recommended that I go on medication which I have begun. What I would like to know is firstly how bad is my situation? Secondly is it neccessary to go on medication without trying other means like reducing weight. etc?
