Suggest Treatment For Hypertension
I am constantly hot. My BP is controlled with medication, I am 58 and 5'4" and wiegh 168. These are not hot flashes, but just radiating heat all day and night. I don't wear a coat even though it is 30 degrees outside. My TSH is normal. I never used to sweat, but I sure do now. Face is always flushed.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that to confirm the hypertension one has to monitor the blood pressure for week and during the monitoring if it is found that the systolic pressure is above 140 mm/hg and diastolic pressure is above 90 mm/hg then this is to be treated with the diet alone first, other cardiac investigation may be required, have a nice day.
