I am a 40 year old woman with high blood pressure. I am not overweight and my heightweight is proportionate. I am currently taking 8 mg ofPerindopril daily. My pressure is sometimes as high as 150 over 110. Any suggestions. Thanks, Patt.  <response>: Hello, 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 14090 MMH, then medicines need to be changed. Occasional readings above 14090 is acceptable. If the majority of readings are above 140 then better to shift on other medicine like telmisartan Amlodipine combination 405 mg once a day. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 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. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
