Hi thank you for querry.
HTN
high blood pressure must be monitored and treat because it has lot of compications on kidneys,heart and brain
you must check your blood pressure 3,4 random readings after sitting and relax for 15 minutes than go for monitoring if is on higher side consult your doctor with life style and diet modification.
tension type headache is common so reduce the tension.
1st line treatment of HTN in younger age group is ACEI and in older ca channel blocker diuretics like frusemide is not the first choice for BP.
