General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome at HCM
i appreciate your health concerns
The BP reading which you have mentioned is quite high. It need to be lower down...
What z ur age? And history of diabetes?
In my opinion you should meet your doctor so that you can be managed properly... Antiinflammatory drugs Like steroids do cause rise in BP. Your doctor will decide about the drug for lowering your BP...
Meanwhile stay calm and decrease salt intake and do regular exercise...
Hope it helps...
Regards
