Suggest Treatment For Sudden Rise In BP And Heart Rate

I woke up feeling a bit weird and decided to take my blood pressure. 160 over 105 with a heart rate of 89. I have had headaches for about a week now. I have always run a lower blood pressure before, what do you suggest. I am a 53 year old woman who is 5'5" and weighs 180 pounds.

Hello,

So reading is definitely high.
So you should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week. If BP is persistently more than 140/90 mmHg, then you should be on medicines for it. To begin with, you can have Tab Cilnidipine 10 mg once a day, which you can get prescribed from local doctor.
Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once.

Hope this helps you and get back if you have any other doubts.
