<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hello, My mom age is 65 years old, her blood pressure is 15090 mmHg. Is it a high blood pressure? does she needs medication? or she can control it by diet only ? and if yes...Does diet in that condition should work...Should i omit salt totally from food?..what about Hibiscus and ginger, Ca, Magnesium..is it work?..Thanks  <response>: Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Normal blood pressure is less than 14090. So blood pressure reading of 15090 is considered as hypertension. So your mother is having hypertension grade 1. Following is the treatment for your mother. 1. Ask her to avoid stress and tension and be relaxed and calm. 2. Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours. 3. Avoid excessive salt from the diet. 4. Do regular aerobic exercise like running, cycling, swimming etc. 5. Take amlodipine 5 mg twice daily. 6. Give multivitamin and multi minerals tablet like folic acid, pyridoxine, vitamin B12, zinc, magnesium etc. Dont worry, she will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
