Suggest medication for elevated BP level and hypertension
Patient: My Blood pressure is often 125/89 today its jumped to 138/100 should I tell my doctor she can finally write the rx for hypertension BTW I'm 43 and female and take no medications but have just gotten over a cold but am still coughing could that raise my pressure? Doctor: HIWell come to HCMI really appreciate your concern, I always advise my all the patient to go to Doctor for reading blood pressure, if you are going to read it on your own then it may show error and most of the time it comes elevated. If you do not have any clinical symptoms then it is nothing to worry, looking to blood pressure reading is given here it may not fall in hypertensive category, still you can see the physician  hope this information helps.
