Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Yes, the next best would be to get a Cardio test done.

Cardio test involves more than one tests like ECH (Electrocardiogram), Tread mill test and a 2D ECHO. The total cost of the above tests may be within 75$ even in best of the hospitals.

Knowing the cause for the blood pressure rise would help to identify the underlying pathology. Treating the same would help to bring down the blood pressure for sure.

Hope, I answered your query.

Please let me know if there are any concerns.
