General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for your query,
you have Elevated blood pressure 160/110 that needs work up.
First you measure your blood pressure for a week on different time if it remains more than 150/90 in most of readings then you need to take medicines for it on regular bases.
Your leg vein explode has no relation to your high pressure but it needs work up.
Thanks.
