Hello doctor,
I am 64 years old, completely fit, 5 feet 2 and 118 lbs. I have a steps tracker. So, I know my resting heart rate is 67 on average. I walk an average of 18,000 steps a day, may be more. I golf four times a week and usually walk. But, I did have asthma as a child, and it seems to have resurfaced. I have been taking Flovent (just in the last three months) because the humidity and allergens were horrific. I take Benadryl sometimes at night. I do take Aleve or other Ibuprofen daily. I have a family history of high blood pressure. Six months ago, my blood pressure was in the range of 110/70 to 120/80. The other day, I took a reading and it was 141/87. It was the same for the last several days. I am not sure when this elevation occurred. I never eat fast food or processed food, and I am also on a gluten-free diet.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You have not put forward any specific query about your health issue. What I have understood is that your average pulse rate is around 67 per minute. Your BP usually varies from 110/70 to 120/80. But off late it is higher.
- It may be due to a stress related to the resurfacing of the asthma attack which I understand is controlled with Flovent.
- Do not worry. Your BP will be stabilized but, check your BP regularly and continue the medicine.
- I suggest you take tablet Montelukast 10, one tablet daily.
- Avoid taking pain killers as they can aggravate asthma.
- You can continue your regular physical activities. It is good for you.
- Use a mask when outdoors.
- I also suggest the following investigations:
- Pulmonary function test
- Allergy test.
Periodic check up is recommended.
