Suggest Ways To Manage Hypertension

Hi, My 22year old daughter has Hypertension that they haven t gotten under control. Recently they put her on a betablocker and an ARB. Is this safe? How closely should she be watched. I feel like this is a lot of meds for a 22 year old. Her dad does have a very significant heart history. He is 54 and has suffered 3 MI s. Has 3 heart stents and is type II diabetic since he was age 30. Should I push them to look for an underlying cause of this

Mostly heart problem and hypertension are inter -linked. They are hereditary too. If any one of the parent have hypertension then there kid have chance of getting the same. Coming to treatment point of view for your daughter, ya definately it's a matter of concern as continuous hypertension may damage the heart leading to various heart problem. Mostly hypertension may be due to obesity also, so see to it that the BMR should be within normal range. secondly get the thyroid profile done. yes the hypertensive medication should be started so as to prevent further conplications
