Suggest Treatment For High Blood Pressure
My Daughter 0f 50 years while at my home asked me to check her blood pressure. It was 210 over 102. She would not go to the ER and said she would call the Cardiologist in the morning. I gave her one of my wife s Metoprolol 25 MG. tabs to try and bring the blood pressure down. Did I do wrong? I didn t know what else to do.

Hello,
I would agree with you on giving her Metoprolol, as this will help lower her blood pressure values, although I don't think this will be enough considering her blood pressure values.
Having some rest and a cup of lemon juice or garlic can help too. But, if such high blood pressure values persist, going to the ER will be necessary.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
