how dangerous? "it depends."PNGMK wrote:...
I have been on Micardis (80mg of telmisartan) and previously was on Twynsta (80/5) which has telmisartan/amlodipine combined. I guess I need to go back on amlodipine (which I can buy in JB or at the airport on the way out next week).
I'm wondering if anyone here has a doc they would recommend for BP control?
At 52 how "dangerous" is 150/105?
It should vary ... morning vs. evening and depending on when you take the med, physical activities, how relaxed you are, etc. Mine can still go up to 150/100 level sometimes.PNGMK wrote:thanks guys. it's multiple readings. I added in a diuretic to help until I see my GP and I plan to buy a stronger med at the airport tomorrow (a calcium blocker).
exercise more! eat less sugar and salt, they are bad for blood pressure.PNGMK wrote: I'm wondering if anyone here has a doc they would recommend for BP control?

I have a very simple rule: never add sugar or salt to anything. Just about everything in our diet nowadays has been added enough of both, more than enough in many cases.
The thing with sugar and salt, along with everything else in life I guess, is that you become conditioned to the usual level. You'll ever-progressively need more and more to get the same satisfaction that you got at first.
I cannot believe how people can coke, fanta etc. It's like drinking liquid sugar
yes, diet and reducing salt intake can help...missyqiqi wrote:exercise more! eat less sugar and salt, they are bad for blood pressure.
monitor your blood pressure everyday. get a cheap blood pressure monitor

i suggest omron, its japanese brand.
my parents monitor everyday before and after exercising, it gives them a figure to work together for a goal.....
nothing beats diet though, eat less sugar and salt!
