Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 34 years old and have high blood pressure. I am taking Nebivolol 2.5 mg twice daily. Usually, my blood pressure is within normal ranges, typically less than 120/80 mmHg, but at times, it can exceed 150/100 mmHg. This morning, when I checked, it was 160/110 mmHg, which made me very scared. However, after an hour, it decreased to 140/90 mmHg. Should I visit a doctor now?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Blood pressure (BP) may fluctuate due to conditions such as stress or illness, which can raise BP levels. If this occurs occasionally, there is no need for additional medication. I advise you to manage your BP without medications as much as possible since you are young and should aim for a healthy lifestyle without relying on pills. Therefore, you should consume plenty of fruits and vegetables, engage in regular moderate-intensity exercise, avoid tobacco in any form, and steer clear of junk foods like pizza, burgers, and fatty foods.
Check your BP regularly at random times, not just when you feel unwell. Measure your BP while sitting, with your arm resting on a table, and ensure the cuff is at heart level. After ten minutes, check your BP again. If it remains within the normal range of 120/80 mmHg or lower, you may consider reducing one dose. Keep track of your BP readings consistently and make a note of them. After about a month, if your BP remains stable, you may withdraw the other dose as well. However, if your BP does not stabilize after these measures, please provide a daily record of your BP.
Wishing you a healthy life ahead.
Regards.
