Are High BP, Sciatica Pain, Nausea And Constipation A Cause For Concern?

My moms blood pressure seems to be high. We took it manually at 194/74. Then we took it with a machine and it was 199/74 with 55 pulse. She has sciatica and was feeling pain. She is nauseated and seems to be constipated. Would you suggest that I take her in to the ER?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Since your mom is suffering from hypertension, you need to take her to ER, get her clinically assessed. She requires medicines or will start feeling light-headed or drowsy.

She may need a cardiac check-up too, as hypertension triggers cardiac or CAD issues. She may require blood & Imaging tests(stress, EKG, Echo, etc) to stay on the safer side.

Get her examined for sciatica. She requires NSAIDS & vitamins to prevent any nerve damage.

Let her take B, B12, Folic acid rich food or supplements. Give her laxatives at bedtime or fiber-rich food to get relieve from constipation. let her stay well hydrated. She ca take antacids for relieve.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
