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.
Should I Be Worried About My Blood Pressure Being 124/58?
I take meds for high blood pressure. I ve felt tired and the last couple of days I ve been dizzy at times and had bouts fo nausea. My bood pressure right now is 124/58. The high number is about right for me, but the lower number was usually around 90. Any suggestions.
Hello. Welcome to HCM. I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Usually blood pressure upto 140/90 mmhg can be allowed. Tight blood pressure control is not recommended if one has symptoms.
Your diastolic blood pressure is low that might give you dizziness and blurring of vision.
So kindly consult your doctor and ask him to readjust the dose. If needed you can go for 24 hrs ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. It can give your doctor confirmatory idea regarding blood pressure fluctuations.
Thank you. Have a nice day.
