I also take one Atoravastatin 40 mg every night for my high cholestrol. should I be overly concerned with my high blood pressure. My average is about 140/83/69 (mol). Thanks Tom
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
140\83 is acceptable. but Blood pressure of 190\100 is too high unless you are in pain or just exercised. recheck 8n 1 hour and pressure is still high go to a doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
