Patient's Query
Hello Doctor,
My blood pressure is up to 197/100 mmHg. My doctor keeps giving me tablet Bystolic and asked to take it for 10 days. Is that safe? I am a 53 year old male, usually great health.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Your blood pressure is very high.
- Given your age, you are very susceptible to paralytic attacks and heart attacks and you should not ignore it at all.
- Tablet Nebivolol (Bystolic) is not enough to control your blood pressure.
- You need to get some basic tests done to rule out any secondary cause and then if nothing comes out, you can be started on better medications.
- Your target BP should not be more than 130/90 mmHg.
