View allI'm really worried about my mom. Her ESR level is at 70 and her blood pressure is 180. Can you guide us on how to lower her ESR? Which type of doctor should we consult for this issue?
It is important to consult with a doctor before starting any medication regimen. For her high blood pressure of 180, she should consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, she can take antihypertensive medication like Amlodipine. It is important to monitor her blood pressure regularly and follow up with the appropriate specialists for further management.
