Brief Answer:
calcium channel blocker

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Since your blood pressure is 161/89 mm Hg, you need to take cilnidipine 5 mg tablet once daily in the morning after food as it is high. Please request your doctor to write a prescription for the same.

You can take the tablet in whole, with a glass of water. To achieve the best possible results, take your dose at the same time each day.

It is a calcium channel blocker prescribed for patients at risk of vascular damage caused by hypertension.

It helps to control high blood pressure by reduce the functioning of the body`s angiotensin receptors and also reduces plaque formation in blood.

Lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet and exercising, are often the best treatment for plaque formation.

Brief Answer:
CT scan whole abdomen

Detailed Answer:
Hi

High blood pressure can be due to kidney problems, adrenal gland tumors, thyroid problems and alcohol abuse.

Since your bodyscan indicated minimal plaque build up i would recommend you do a CT scan of whole abdomen to check your condition of kidney and adrenal glands.
