General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Before eyou take any medication, you need to recheck your BP and confirm its high. It could go up if had checked it after some physical activity or if you have some stress. If you bp is high still, get your renal function and cardiac status checked. If all of them are normal any one antihypertensive drug can be started. Preferably Enalapril. You can consult any physician and do this. Thank you.
