<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I m on blood pressure medication but my blood pressure remains high. On the weekend my blood pressure was checked at 7.30 a.m. on Saturday and its was 17295. I checked it again about 5 minutes later and it remained at that level. I also checked it on Sunday morning and again it was around 17090. Is this a problem?  <response>: Hello, The cutoff life for BP in a hospital setting is 14090 mm of Hg, as in trials it has been found that those having a BP of 14090 mm of BP in Hospital setting equalled to 13585 mm of Hg when recorded on 24 hour Ambulatory BP monitoring. So your readings of 17090 17595 mm of Hg is a little high. Would recommend that you have some lifestyle modifications like daily exercise, salt restricted means no use of table salt low fat diet, avoid junk food, canned food. Would also recommend some tests like Complete Blood Count, Lipid Profile, Kidney Function Tests, ECG, Fasting Blood Sugar, 2D Echocardiography. Medicines like Cilnidipine Chlorthalidone would help you. Chat Doctor.
