Hi,
I understand your concern and would explain that straining physical activity and daily stress can lead to uncontrolled high blood pressure values. Nevertheless, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests to investigate for other possible causes underlying high blood pressure:
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- Thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- Blood electrolytes for possible imbalances
- Kidney and liver function tests
- Cortisol and aldosterone plasma levels for adrenal gland dysfunction.
If all these tests result normal, I would recommend discussing with your doctor on the possibility of starting anti-hypertensive therapy, to help maintain your blood pressure under control.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Iliri
