question: Hi, This is Manoj.  I am having hypertension when i checked with the doctor yesterday.  It showed 160/110 and next day in the evening the reading goes high to 180/110 and then day after tomorrow in the morning, it showed 160/100.  Doctor prescribed me Atenolol 50 mg for 10 days and in the 8th day of this course, she will check my pressure again.  Should I take blood pressure tablet?  Will it be okay by dieting and exercise instead of taking medicine?
