Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
After going through your history, your blood pressure is definitely high and please take care about you diet take less salt and recheck your pressure with the medicine that is hydrochlorothiazide.
If you have missed your period please take up your urine pregnancy test as if it is positive there are some drugs which should be avoided in pregnancy for high blood pressure.
If there is pregnancy then consult your Gynecologist as soon as possible, because you will need certain diet supplements.
If you are not pregnant confirmed by beta HCG and abdominal ultrasonography.
then you just need to control your blood pressure by appropriate medicines.
Please take care
Good Luck
Dr.Akhilesh Dubey M.D.
