Suggest Treatment For High Blood Preessure
hi i am 29 years old and i have high blood pressure. I have been on a low dose of blood pressure medication and i am still at pre-hypertension, and some times level one hypertension. I have been exercising, and have not smoked for three months. Should i get a stronger dose of blood pressure medication?

Hello and thanks for posting your query here.
As your BP still remains little on higher side despite exercising and quit smoking, you should see your doctor to get an advice. There are generally two options as per the guidelines, either the dose of the same medicine be increased or a small dose of another medicine be added.
And the target BP as per latest guidelines is 140/90.
I hope this information would help you.
Thanks and all the best.
