Patient: My blood pressure went up to 198/83 last night and I didn't feel well.  I took my evening meds and it went down to 184/63,  Should I have called my doctor?  I am 57 years old, 5'1", 250 lbs and have had HBP for approx 16 years.  I was in the hospital last year when it reached 191 and I felt extremely sick. Doctor: yes high BP is a cause for concern and so high is definitely be treated. if u are on drugs just increase or change or add other one.check for the cause if possible. usual cause for Young HBP are related with kidney like renal artery stenosis,CKD or Coarctation of aorta ,Hyperthyroidism and many more.
