Tried to post in Hypertension but for some reason it would not allow me to.. Im currently on medication for hypertension for about 18 months now.. never had any symptoms, just one day had a bp reading and it was 210/130 Started taking Ramipril and bp dropped to 120/80 ish but got the dreaded cough as a symptom. So been taking 100mg Losartan Potassium now for about 12 months BP dropped to around 130/90 Over the last 2 weeks my BP has risen to 160/100 with a recorded high of 175/110 and a low of 145/95 Is this a blip or do you think I should visit my GP? I don't want to bother them due to the current environment unless absolutely necessary.
i am on 3 bp meds i went into hypertensive crisis and was rushed to the hospital from the doctors office . my bp was 209/111. i never have symptoms of high blood pressure except headaches and shortness of breath. Never feel bad for going to your doctor. if you feel something is wrong get it checked out.
You do not have to bother them but you can at least ask for advice. Advice is free and its not troublesome.
