Hello,

I understand your concern and would explain that high blood pressure could be related to the Althea pills.

Anyway, I recommend performing some other tests to exclude other possible causes (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes, thyroid hormone levels).

Starting anti-hypertensive therapy may be needed as long as your blood pressure values remain above the normal ranges.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
