How to reduce blood pressure level?
Patient: Hi doctor, i would like to consult about my mom. She is 43 years of age. We have the blood pressure machine at home, her blood pressure when i check is between 150-175 systolic over 90-100 diastolic. she doesnt have any symptoms when i ask her! i'm really worried about this. what do you recommend? should she start taking medications. by the way, she doesnt take any medications at the moment. She is not a smoker nor a drinker, she has a family history of hypertension (her mom). she drinks coffee.looking forward for your answer.Many thanks,Shamsa Doctor: Dear ShamsaMany patient with high blood pressure doesn't feel when they have high blood pressure. Advise your mother to restrict the amount of salt intake. And if her blood pressure is around 150-170, there is a need to see a doctor to prescribe a medication. She should take medications to control blood pressure to avoid complications. Take careCome back if you have any further questions
