default
Posted on Wed, 12 Apr 2017
Question: Three days back I had dizziness and sweating in palm and feet. Doctor has checked BP and it was 160/100. So he has prescribed few tablets for 5 days. I took the tablets for three days. Now even without taking the tablet BP is 120/80. Do I need to take the tablets for the remaining two days also as BP is normal? Also I will be traveling these two days.

Brief Answer:
BP medicine to be started after 2-3 consecutive high readings

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Your raised BP seems to be due to some health condition, maybe stress, anxiety, etc.

BP medicine should be started if BP is consistently raised more than 150/90 on atleast 3 occasions on different days.
If it is not raised on different occasions, then BP medicines should not be started.

Now your BP is normal and you are travelling. My suggestion is that you keep tracking your BP during travel. There is not a need to take BP medicine. Take low salt diet and clean drinking water. Do let me know which BP medicine you are taking.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
