I was told that it sounded like the flu. They gave me a steroid shot,2 prescriptions doxycycline, prednisone and some fluticasone propionate nasal spray
Hello, Thanks for the query. Anti hypertensives has to be started at the earliest. As the blood pressure is too high, multiple drugs may be needed. Consult a physician and get evaluated. An ultrasound abdomen is required to rule out conditions like pheochromocytoma. Wishing all the best. Thanks
