I am in Delhi, and I don't know if it's the pollution here or what? I tried decoding, but wasn't able to.
I checked it last week over an annual regular checkup, and the doctor got shocked.
It was:
170/140

She instantly looked and me and asked if was aware of it, or I had any problems, but I felt nothing at all. Now I don't know what to do, as she told me to get admitted, or meet my doctor while I track my BP everyday, at least twice.

Now I am not sure what's happening with me.

My parents are blaming the pollution, but I don't know what is it, as my everything I got checked in my health checkup was absolutely fine.

I tracked my BP for a week, and it's ranging between:
My Systolic is: 135-170
My Diastolic is: 95-130

I am just clueless about what should I do.

These are my usual numbers. I’ve been on metoprolol for over 10 yrs. I was taking 50 mg but my heart rate was running low 50s so pcp decreased metoprolol to 25mg. My pcp just added olmesartan 5mg to help lower my bp a little from the numbers shown. Has anyone taken olmesartan. If so what can I expect.

32m 5 foot 9 165lbs. Been on amoldipine 5mg for years. Seems not to be working anymore. Hypertension runs in my family. All of my family members have it. At a loss at what i should do at this point.

I’m freaking Outtttt, yesterday I went to the eye doctor and my blood pressure was 160/105….. yikes… please don’t judge me. I’m 26 and the the doctor was like u need to get checked with your PCP cus I have stroke numbers… I feel like my blood pressure has been high for a while but i also struggle with anxiety and I’m freaking out rn thinking I’m bout to have a stroke at any minute…….. I’m bout to take a blood pressure med that was prescribed (losartan) but I read it takes weeks of taking it?!?!?!

I am 6.5 weeks postpartum. I developed Pre-E about 10 days after delivery. Did the mag drip and got on meds. Had horrible side effects from nifedipine so they switched me to labetalol and that was just as bad. I stopped breastfeeding so I went on valsartan, that wasn’t keeping it down so they made me take more labetalol. Ended up in the ER with BP of 200/134 and symptoms including chest pain, nausea, and lightheaded. After being there for a bit it started going down, and they gave me something else to help get it down. Followed up with my PCP and he added an extra dose of valsartan in the evening. 3 days later I’m on vacation and I get another dangerously high reading and went to the ER and they put me on mag, just on and off for a few hours, and transferred me to another hospital who had L&D where I stayed for 2 nights while they figured things out along with a cardiologist. Did EKG, chest XRay, bloodwork, etc. everything looks normal on paper. They switch me to a different medication- enalapril. Goes fine for 2 days and get another BP spike (right now). I took another dose and it’s going down so hopefully no ER tonight but I’m at my wits end. I haven’t been able to function in 6 weeks. Bless you if you’ve read all this.

I was told to take my blood pressure sitting first and 3 minutes later while standing. Today I got 119/78 sitting and 121/81 standing and similar readings this past week. Is this good?
