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.
Normally my bp is lower than normal but in the Dr.Office it will climb way up dangerously up so today my Dr. put me on bp med. again and since last time my bp went so low I was seeing coloroed spots in from of my eyes and was dizzy pale and very unsteady I sat down and let it wear off. now she wants me to tak the med at bedtime. hoping I will sleep through the dizzines. My bp right now is 118 over 41 ist it safe for me to take my med?
how much was your maximum bp reading. Readings mentioned by you are certainly not high to need the treatment. Sometime bp goes high in clinic called as white coat hypertension. So better you monitor your blood pressure 3-4 times a day. first you try low salt diet then on medicine. or else you can get your ambulatory blood pressure monitoring done so picture will b crystal clear.
