Suggest treatment for high BP post a kidney stone removal surgery
Patient: Hello I am 26 year old Indian male,I had a 17mm kidney stone removed from my right ureter 3 months ago,the kidney showed severe hydronephrosis prior to the op,but the real problem is my blood pressure,its in the range of 140 over 90 ,I had several tests done but all came out normal,please guide me, didnt have such high Bp before . Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.It is likely due to kidney damage due to stone. Is your renal function test normal? You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high-calorie diet.Have a low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week.If Blood pressure is persistently more than 140/90mmhg, then you should be on medicines for it like Tablet Amlodipine once a day.You should do regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according to your capacity for at least 30 minutes a day and 5 days a week.Eat Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, and fish once or twice a week, avoid meat.Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There should not be an abdominal fat deposition or obesity.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Sagar Makode
