Blood pressure
From past few days, my husband has blood pressure ranging from 150/90 to 158/99. This he started noticing because one day he had left feet pain and the whole leg was little shiny and little bit swollen. He also feels hotness in his face. Can anyone interrupt the blood pressure reading and let me know what is best. He does half an hour exercise in the morning.
The reading of blood pressure taken at one session cannot be interpreted as hypertension.
The BP measurement should be repeated after 2 or 4 week interval
Swelling may be because of pedal edema due to kidney involvement may be as a result of hypertension involving the blood vessels of kidney
Next Steps
Check random blood sugar, serum creatinine, hemoglobin levels in blood
