Hello, Thanks for posting your query on Healthcare Magic...
* Brief Answer:so far you are doing well ,may need to add antihypertensive according to other risk factors.
*Explanation: My opinion is that high blood pressure on many occasions is an indication for control .That happens on many levels. First, be sure that high blood pressure is not secondary to any other diseases as Cushing or renal failure.Then ,Diet with low salt and less fat content is crucial. Exercise and other healthy activities are also a mean to control blood pressure. If all that dose not help, medications are a must .That is usually decided by your doctor according to your condition and comorbidities .Some drugs that are perfect for patients are not necessary good for others.Regular blood pressure monitoring is as important as starting treatment so that we could assess efficacy of the medication we started.
I suggest my patients the following :avoid excess caffeinated drinks intake, complete other investigations as electrocardiogram and echocardiogram.
The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion. If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them about age and other risk factors, also laboratory results if any done.
*Conclusion: I suggest you adhere to a healthy diet and consult your physician if you need to start antihypertensive medication.

If you have any further questions I will be happy to help, If not, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health.
