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 had my BP taken by my Dr. with a reading of 135/85. When I took it at home the same day it was 127/79. The next day it was 123/73. Does my readings warrant taking BP medication as suggested by my Dr>?
i was your doctor, I would never ask you to take medications for this B.P readings. It does not qualify to be in hypertensive category. Your BP appears perfect. I think all you need is a little physical activity like a regular 30 min walk every day. regards Dr. Ammar
