Hi..my dad has the pressure problem from last ten years and he is on medicines..the doctor recommended tenormin 25mg..but he had to increase the power to 50mg i.e, tenormin 50mg(this was in 2007)..but then his body reacted in a weird manner..with pressure shooting up and going low also..so the doctor suggested..tenormin 25mg in morning and natrilix SR..(this was in 2008)but then he started getting the sensation of vommiting..so doctors recommendation he is having only natrilix SR in night..after dinner(till today)after discontinuing tenormin 25mg in 2008..he use to have two raw garlic pieces in the morning before having tea..but from last few days he again is having that pressure fluctuation problem..yesterday night it shoot up to 100/150 days before that it went low..can you tell me wwhat should be done to keep the pressure in control?? I have heard about a clinic in mumbai where in they attach a pressure reader on your hand for three days..the reader takes the reading at regular intervals..and after those three days the doctor analysis the reading taken by the reader and then suggests appropriate medicine as per the reading.so is there any special clinic which deals this way??
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that as per his BP fluctuations I will recommend you to run few test for him which is an ECG, Echocardiography and an ambulatory Blood Pressure for 24 hours. In the mean time keep his dietary salt low and stop all AntiHypertensive drugs. Consult a Cardiologist personally with reports for further treatment.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards Dr Bhanu Partap
