Q. My blood pressure is erratic. Can you help ?
Answered by Dr. Amiya Kumar Chattopadhyay and medically reviewed by iCliniq medical review team.
Hello doctor,
I am a 30 year old. Recently, I started having high blood pressure. It goes up and down a lot. At some times, it is 170/90, and at others, it is 130/80.
Recently I have done a blood test, where my Hb was 10.52, cholesterol was 152, triglyceride was 165, HDL 28 and LDL was 91.
The other creatinine and BUN test is in the normal range. I have done ECG four times. It comes normal but, with 120 heart rate.
Related Questions:
• I had high blood pressure and low heart rate. Is my ECG showing infarction?
• I have high blood pressure and feel chest pain. Please help.
• Do low TSH level and Low FT4 mean hyperthyroid?

Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your pulse rate is high. Please do a free T4, T3, and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) test.
For your BP (blood pressure), you can take Met XL (Metoprolol) 50 one tablet, once daily at around 8 AM and tablet Stamlo (Amlodipine) 5 one tablet at around 5 PM.
Your Hb (hemoglobin) is slightly low. For that, you can take capsule Cheri (contains Ferrous Fumarate, Folic acid, and others) once daily for two months.
Consult your physician for a periodic recording of your BP.
