[|Human|] I went to the V.A. hospital today. They said my b.p. was 192/126. I had ran two and a half blocks after parking to make it to my appointment on time. At the end of the appointment it was 146/84. I am 55 yrs. old, non-smoker or drinker. Should I worry?
[|AI|]  Hi, thank you for quarry, Yeah one reading too high indicate hypertension you must check you blood pressure and It's still on higher side for at least 3 occasions than you should start medication. Some patient have high blood pressure in hospital setting so ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is best to diagnose it mean when you are at home and relax. In younger age group ACE like Enalapril or April is a Chat Doctor. Calcium channel blocker is a second choice like amlodipine.Lifestyle modification also help like exercise, diet,reduce salt and fat, reduce smoking alcohol and anxiety and stress. Hope the answer will help you. Wish you a good health.
