Suggest Treatment For High BP And Is It Dangerous To Travel
My boyfriend is a 40 year old African American his BP is consistently high and today it has been as high as 199/135....he had no medication ...anything he can do over the counter or anything at all?? Is this dangerous enough for a trip to the ER??? Please help me
hey. first of all,make a chart and monitor his BP for a week and then u will know the exact situation he is going through. There are causes which r associated with high BP. Go to ER and do an EKG of ur BF and see if there r any pathological changes. If his BP is consistently high,then he should be on medications Start from Beta blockers or ACE inhibitors. thanks.
