BP Clarification

2021-10-06 16:16:30
Few weeks back my husband had breathlessness and a BP of 150/102. Prior to this he didn't have any such episode or BP. We were advised to do ECG & Echo. ECG had mild variations while Echo report said mild LVH. ECG was repeated the same day and after 2 days after taking bp medicine (Amlong 5mg) once a day. Both ECG were normal. We have been checking his BP regularly post that and it ranges between 125/85 to 135/90 with no episode of breathlessness after that except one day again when his bp was 138/90. Do these readings indicate high bp? Is he required to take any bp medicine?
