Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Bp Of 142/62 Normal During Peripheral Spondylosis?
My father has peripheral spondylosis (ankylosing spondylitis) and isolated systolic hypertension. The medicines that he is taking for AS are:1. Sulphasalazine 2. Methotrexate 3. Methyl prednisolone 4. Etoricoxib And for hypertension he is taking Telma-H.We have been monitoring his blood pressure for the past weeks, and the average has come to about 142/62. Is this status of systolic and diastolic pressure a cause to worry? What should we do at this point? We have just moved to Bangalore, India; and we are yet to find a doctor to consult on hypertension. Any suggestion of a doctor s name would be a great help.
hypertension and ankylosing spondylitis is not related to each other. Your father's blood pressure is on the borderline. It is not something to worry about but medicine dose has to be increased to decrease the blood pressure.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
