Suggest treatment for high blood pressure
Patient: Hi, I m a 25 years old male, Day before yesterday I was full of sweat and felt vertigo and even was unable to move. next day when get checked my Blood pressure was 140/90. I drink twice in a week. so can you suggest what precautions should i take. Please suggest some medicines as well. Regards A.K Doctor: Hello,  I don't know about your body weight, height, and duration you have been having high pressure. In order to rule out any disease, I need more information from you.   However, as u want to know only the preventive measures then I would suggest you to cut down drinking (i.e. u can consume 20 g alcohol once a week if your pressure is not elevated), eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid canned, fat-rich foods, and salty foods. walk every day for at least 30 mins. drink at least 3 liters of water per day. Sleep at least eight hours per night.  I prescribe medicine if first-line preventive measures are failed i.e , to say if you follow the preventive measures for six months, which i have mentioned above, then I would suggest you take medicine.   Moreover, In your case (young blood) I would not prescribe medicine without doing clinical investigations.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Sandeep Kumar Karn, Internist / Hospitalist
