Suggest Treatment To Lower Blood Pressure Levels
Is there a medication to more quickly to lower blood pressure that has increased to near stoke levels? The pressure increase has just recently occurred from what is normally around 120/76. This is for a male 35 years old that has never had blood pressure issues. There have been two back-to-back episodes that resulted in ambulance runs to ER. The normal EKG, x-rays, blood tests, MRI, and other tests have all been negative for a reason for this abnormality. The condition seems to elevate as night fall approaches and accompanies pain in the chest, shoulders, and neck.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
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. You may be get started on medicines like Amlodipine or telmisartan for bp. You should also get stress test done like stress thallium or CT coronary after echo. Do you have stress o anxiety which precipitates this?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
