[|Human|] My blood pressure reading is 165/95; It was too much salt for dinner; how do I get it down tonight. I took 100 mg of Mg two hours ago and not sure if I took K 550 mg or not. My husband is on HCTZ-- should I take that? I am type II diabetic for 16 years and on metformin 500 mg a.m. and 1000 mg p.m. My sister had a stroke so I am nervous obviously.
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your blood pressure is very high. You should consult emergency department urgently. Anything can happen with this blood pressure.  Atenolol or nifedipine or losartan can be taken, but you need examination first. Don't take medicine that was given for your husband. Continue your metformin according to advise. It has no relation with your blood pressure. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
