How to effectively manage high blood pressure?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 30-year-old. Recently, I have started experiencing high blood pressure, which fluctuates significantly. At times, it measures 170/90 mmHg, while at others, it is 130/80 mmHg. I recently had a blood test, which showed that my hemoglobin was 10.52 g/dL, cholesterol was 152 mg/dL, triglycerides were 165 mg/dL, HDL was 28 mg/dL, and LDL was 91 mg/dL. The results for creatinine and BUN were within the normal range. I have had an ECG performed four times; the results were normal, but my heart rate was recorded at 120 beats per minute.

Please advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your pulse rate is elevated. Please have a free T4 (thyroxine), T3 (triiodothyronine), and TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) test done. For your high blood pressure, you can take one tablet of Metoprolol 50 mg once daily around 8 AM, and one tablet of Amlodipine 5 mg around 5 PM. Your hemoglobin level is slightly low; for that, you can take one capsule of Cheri (which contains Ferrous Fumarate, Folic Acid, and other ingredients) once daily for two months. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicines with take the medicines with their consent. Also, please consult your physician for regular monitoring of your blood pressure.

Thank you.
