hi doc i am realy worried. Due to me been stressful and a little depress my doctor take my presure it was 120/95t two week ago. I visited him last thursday and it was 120/90 and he gave me apro amilizide to take half jus to bring it down for two month. He said not to worry but to eat right and lose about 10 lb, i weight 174lb. I worry about it almost every day, do i have high blood pressure?
Hi.120/90 is certainly not hypertension if you go by the criteria cardiologists use, but you are pre-hypertensive.but the choice of medication, i.e., combination of diuretics is probably because of your weight as these are not commonly prescribed as first line.so reduce your weight as advised.modify your lifestyle and diet.BP will remain in control, depression as well!.have a good health.continue cardio logical check-up on a regular basis
