Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your query and concern. Blood pressure needs adequate control in your case. Maintain Blood pressure below 130/80 mm of Hg in your case. Your blood pressure is slightly on a higher note. I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography, ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart. Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day. Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a day for 5 days a week is pretty useful. Chat Doctor. Reduce the intake of fatty and fried food. One pomegranate a day will help to keep your heart at good pace without clot formation. Weight reduction will help to control the blood pressure a well Consult a Cardiologist for further expert management. Post your further queries if any. Thank you.
