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 have had blood pressure for some years, usually controlled by tablets these past three months it has been around 215/104 sometimes slightly loer sometimes slightly higher - my Dr has increased meds and today added in a 4th medication. I have also had an eye exam that revealed a bleed in the right eye and muscle paralysis in both eyes, also taut, inflamed veins in both eyes - should I visit an emergency dr or hang on in there?

Hello,
As you had an eye exam in the past and at present, there is no problem with eyesight just continue the drugs and let the drugs reduce blood pressure. And as a rule, avoid smoking or alcohol or fast fried salty foods. You may go for a morning or evening walk at a moderate pace.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Varinder Joshi
