Hello,
First, get the lab tests as blood urea and serum creatinine and urine complete besides blood sugar level. Get ECG and chest x-ray PA view.
If all tests are normal and ECG and chest x-ray are suggestive of Blood pressure (BP) only, then start medication as tablet Telmisartan once a day. Also, start morning or evening walk at moderate pace, avoid alcohol, coffee and fast fried foods.
Your BP shall start decreasing slowly and it should reach 140/90 mm Hg by end of one month. If not so, then tablet Amlodipine once a day is to be added.
As these are prescription drugs, please contact your local doctor so that he will prescribe these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Varinder Joshi
