Need Medication For Fluctuating Blood Pressure

I am 70 yrs of age with fluctuating blood pressure over the years lately I have been feeling unwell and my blood pressure was 157 over 109. My eyes were affected and on 2 occasions I felt I was going to pass out. I also have a thudding in my left ear which is like a heartbeat.

Hi Sir,

Welcome to HCM,

I understand your query and concern.

Fluctuations in blood pressure need to be controlled at the earliest to avoid ischemia to the brain and heart.

I advise you to get an ECG,2D Echo of the heart immediately to look for any abnormality in the heart.

Inadequate drug dosage will lead to uncontrolled hypertension.

Drugs like Telmesartan 40 mg will be preferable in your case.

I advise you to consult cardiologist for expert management.

Post your further queries if any,

Thank you.
