I'm really worried because my blood pressure is reading 140100. I know that's considered high, and I'm wondering what medicine I should be taking for it. Is this something I need to be urgently concerned about? Should I see a doctor right away?

According to me you have to measure your bp once daily and make a report after that we can make a conclusion and if it is prehypertension range we can try some lifestyle changles avoid salt tea coffee stress etc

View allHad open heart surgery with a bental procedure back in August 2014 and now dealing with seroma pinna swelling and fluid buildup in my outer ear. The doctor suggested either needle drainage or surgery, but I'm on daily warfarin 10mg. Is it safe to go ahead with either option given the blood thinners?
yes, can use blood thinner.

I've noticed that my blood pressure has gone up a couple of times in the last month after eating salty foods, though most days it's normal even if I've had salt. I'm overweight by around 12-14 kgs, and I'm curious if that's contributing to this issue. Like yesterday, after having salty tea, I got a bad headache at the back of my head, and when I checked my BP with our home digital machine, it read 14090. I drank some water, and it seemed to go back to normal. I'm wondering, how accurate are those home BP machines anyway? My lifestyle is pretty sedentary because of my online work. I talked to a doctor, and he said it's not the right time to start BP medications. What do you suggest?
Yes change your routine and have regular physical activity and consume healthy diet,have a regular follow up with your doctor
