Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I am a 40 year old woman with high blood pressure. I am not overweight and my height/weight is proportionate. I am currently taking 8 mg ofPerindopril daily. My pressure is sometimes as high as 150 over 110. Any suggestions. Thanks, Patt.
Hello, 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 medicines need to be changed. Occasional readings above 140/90 is acceptable. If majority of readings are above 140 then better to shift on other medicine like telmisartanAmlodipine combination 40/5 mg once a day. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
