Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Classification of Blood Pressure (BP):
- Systolic BP (mmHg)
- Diastolic BP (mmHg)
Normal Prehypertension 120-139 80-89
Stage 1 hypertension 140-159 90-99
Stage 2 hypertension ≥160 ≥100
Right now you are stage 2 hypertensive. Our target is to achieve a blood pressure of 140/90. You should start with amlodipine and nitrate they will be safe for you, clonidine can also be added.
- Try to exercise 45 minutes a day
- Drink plenty of water
- Eat less fatty food
- antihtn suitable for you
- calcium channel blockers
- nitates alpha agonists
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rini
