My spouse's BP rose post-surgery advice. Please help.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My spouse, aged 47 years, has been advised a hysterectomy as there is a fibroid of 3.14 inches by 2.75 inches. Since hearing about an impending surgery, my spouse's blood pressure has risen to 170/100.
Now, she has been prescribed one tablet of Telmikind 40 per day and Tolol XR 50 twice a day for the last two weeks. However, the BP has reduced to only 150/90.
How long will she need to take the tablets for to achieve a normal BP?
The surgery is getting delayed due to the high BP. So, is it necessary to change the medicines or raise the dose of medicines?
Kindly suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I would like you to know that only disturbing news cannot raise her blood pressure (BP) by that much. It has been there for a while, and the stress of surgery just revealed it. This seems to be essential hypertension, which needs continuous monitoring and treatment.
Ask her to reduce salt intake and fatty meals and avoid stress. Exercise for a minimum of 15 minutes every day. Make a note of her BP in a diary, once in the morning and once in the evening.
The medication is alright, but I think the dose must be increased. I suggest you talk to the doctor about raising the dose according to her weight and other morbidities.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
