yes and yes. based on the information you shared you most definitely need blood pressure treatment and this usually includes medication with the high readings you are having as well as a complete hypertension work-up. i have no explanation as to why your doctor is not concerned so you do need to see someone else line a specialist in internal medicine. yes definitely. you should take second opinion and start with the anti-hypertensive medications. we advice to start with plain arjuna powder (terminalia arjuna) at dose of 3 gms daily after meals with lukewarm water. thank you for your contributions. i am the mother of the girl who posted the question. she thought i was being over anxious as our gp had been rather blasé about it. i took her to a gp in a different town for a second opinion. she was sent to hospital the following day and started on meds. she has had a number of tests so far and as of today she is still 174/111 after a week on meds. however she has had lots of tests scans echoes and ultrasounds! she is only 24 so i hope that we get to the bottom of it soon and see her right again. i appreciate you taking the time to answer her question. regards - mum of marble arch
bp is 199/119 but still no meds prescribed. i have been suffering high blood pressure for three years - since college. i wore a monitor for 24 hours at the start of this year and have been deemed hypertensive. i feel unwell and have recently had crippling chest pain. my gp says these are not a cause for concern. my bp is 140/110 usually but is now 199/119. all readings have been in gp office. do i need meds? should i seek a second opinon? . thank you for your time.
