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.
My blood pressure has been fluxing for 2-3 weeks. From 154/85 through 139/90. Then may be normal for a few days 120/80. Been watching diet and some exercise. Keeping mild headaches. No present meds bcs no ongoing high blood pressure issue. What’s up.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
So, at present you should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week. If bp is persistently more than 140/90 mmhg, then you should be on medicines for it. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
