Hi doctor, I would like to consult regarding my situation, my blood pressure is normal but everytime I go to clinic or hospital I feel nervous so my blood pressure becomes high. Any recommendations or medication on this? Is it safe to go back to work while the COVID-19 pandemic is still on going?
Hello. I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. I would like to know some more details about your present problem. How many times have you checked your blood pressure in clinic and what was the range of BP? I mean how much it rises? Do you have any cardiac symtoms like chest pain, breathing difficulty on exertion or walking, palpitations, fatigue, giddiness? Family history of hypertension? I would suggest you to get a digital BP apparatus at home and monitor your BP at home. If it is high at home also then you may definitely have hypertension and will have to be treated. Decision to work in COVID 19 pandemic depends on the place you stay, the number of cases you have around, the safety environment of your office and so on. But definitely has to be very careful and follow all safety measures. Kindly get back with above details for further discussion and management.
