Welcome to H.C.M.

I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Your blood pressure 171/106 is high( Normal is 120/80) and you should go to ER.

I advise you for strictly follow all treatment prescribed by your treating doctor for your prolong and healthy survival.

If you will not follow then it can be dangerous for life and can cause stroke and other complications.

I would treat you with Telma H -Telmisartan 40mg and hydrochlorthiazide 12.5 mg once a day with regular check up and titration of dose with strict diet control .

- Regular physical activity — at least 30 to 60 minutes most days of the week.

Reduce salt in your diet.

Decrease amount of alcohol .

Regular blood pressure monitoring and renal function test.


Hope this answers your question.

Please do not hesitate for any query.

I will be happy to answer your questions.
