Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my blood pressure has been running around 130/90....and this morning right when i woke up i took it and it was 140/100....i am 43, do not drink, smoke and im not overweight. overall in good health...i have never never had high blood pressure...but the last couple weeks i have been monitoring it because i had a headache in the morning and it seems elevated in the morning and then tapers out throughout the day.. i made an appt with the cardiologist but they cannot see me for another week. will i be ok.
After going through your medical detail, I understand your concern for your health, and I would like to tell you that blood pressure is an ever-changing phenomenon and can’t remain constant every hour as it depends on our actions. Emotional state, stress levels, and other physiological phenomena. During a headache, your blood pressure may rise, but for that, you need to take pain relieving meds instead of anti-hypertensive drugs. Continue with your healthy lifestyle and keep your blood pressure under 140/90 mmHg.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Bhanu Partap
