What Does This Result From Blood Test And BP Level Indicate?

I am suffering with High BP for the last 3 to 4 years. unfortunately I have not started any medication until last week. My BP reading was between 130/90 to 140/100 for the above period. Now BP reading shows about 160/100.
I have done some blood tests such as lipid profile and LFT. there are above normal reports of Tryglyceroids, 16.5 Hb and some SGPT. ECG is normal. Fundus normal.no hypertensive retinopathy detectcted.
Now doctor has recommended me medicine such as : Ecosprin, Rivotril and Telmisartin 40. can u comment on it? and are there any other tests to be done to access the extent of damage already done ?

Hi,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic!

- Ecosprin thins the blood and prevents clots from forming, so it protects against heart attacks or strokes.
- Rivotril is used to treat seizure disorders or panic disorder, but I don't know why your doctor has prescribed it for you. You may ask him for this.
- Telmisartan is used to low blood pressure.

Other test you can do are:
- Urinalysis for proteinuria
- Estimated GFR (glomerular filtration rate)

Other tests if history, physical exam, or lab tests indicate the need:
1. Intravenous pyelography (IVP)
2. Renal arteriogram
3. Plasma renin
4. Catecholamines
5. Chest radiography
6. Aortogram
7. Ultrasonography
8. Sleep study

I tried my best to help you, if you have further questions you may ask me.

Take care!
