Suggest Treatment For High Blood Pressure

My 76 year old mother went to a health clinic today and her blood pressure was 204/102. She said the doctor took it twice because he was concerned about the number but did not give her specific advise. Is this something we need to worry about and/or seek additional medical attention?

Hi,

Your mother has quite high blood pressure and needs treatment.
Unfortunately it is not possible to prescribe a treatment online without seeing the patient. So you should see your doctor to prescribe treatment. There are many medications available for the treatment of high blood pressure and the choice depends on individual patient condition
Also your mother will need to monitor blood pressure at home. I would advise you to check blood pressure twice daily until it is normalizes.

Hope I could help you

Wishing a good health to your mother
