Suggest Treatment For Very High BP With Headache And Ear Pain
Hi , Im 25 and im overweight and have hypertension since i was 15 . I also have PCOD . iv been on amlodipine for a couple of years but i tend to get careless and im not very regular taking the meds . I get a bad headache every now and then and then i take the meds . Tonight i went to the doctor with a bad headache and earache and he found my BP to 210/150 . He reffered me to a physician who proceeded to check my BP again and yell at me for not checking the BP regularly . when i told him i monitered it at home , he was very rude and told me that you dont have any medical knowledge . why do you think you can understand anything about this . was i wrong in becoming very insulted ? im thinking about going to see another doctor after getting the tests he ordered done :(
As you are very young, I sugggest to look far causes of secondary hypertension (if not already done); in particular, as you say also you are overweight, check hormonal situation and renal function. Best regards
