Question 1

Hey, I've got a situation that's been bothering me. My blood pressure is pretty high, around 16510, which I know is far from normal. My lifestyle is generally healthyI don't smoke or drink alcohol. I also don't deal with anxiety or lead a sedentary lifestyle, and I avoid fast food. My blood sugar is normal when I fast. I'm just confused about why my BP is still high. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

High blood pressure of 165100 should be addressed promptly to prevent complications. I recommend starting with medication to lower your blood pressure. You can start with a combination of Amlodipine 5mg and Lisinopril 10mg once daily. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium, and stress management techniques can also help in managing your blood pressure. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your healthcare provider are important to ensure your blood pressure is well controlled.
