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.
I am 38 yrs old male always had a great blood pressure 120/75, but recently I have been lying around because of back injury. I m feeling better but went to the Doctors yesterday and my BP was 147/93. This I am taking very serious I have been working out again for the past two weeks and cut back on the salt. What else would you recommend that I do to bring my BP back to normal? and I just came off a few different medications Tramadol, Naproxen and another muscle relaxer.
Regarding your concern, I would explain that these high blood pressure values could be related to a physiological reaction to the back pain or painkillers.
I am sure that your blood pressure values will drop again gradually.
It is only important to continue regular physical activity and closely monitor your blood pressure values in the next couple of weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
