Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
I understand your concern â a blood pressure reading of 134/90 is slightly elevated and can be influenced by multiple factors even in healthy individuals who exercise and maintain a good diet. Occasional stress, sleep quality, sodium intake, or measurement technique can affect readings
â
Advices
⢠Ensure consistent blood pressure monitoring at the same time daily under calm conditions
⢠Limit excess salt, processed foods, and caffeine, even if your diet is otherwise healthy
⢠Continue your exercise and pranayama practice, and add relaxation techniques to manage stress
What to Monitor
⢠Track your BP for 1â2 weeks and note patterns
⢠Watch for symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, or palpitations
Management
For slightly elevated BP, lifestyle measures are usually effective. If readings persist above 140/90 on multiple occasions, your doctor may consider medications. Avoid self-starting antihypertensives
When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
⢠Persistent BP above 180/120
⢠Severe headache, chest pain, shortness of breath, or vision changes
⢠Signs of stroke such as weakness, numbness, or speech difficulty
Every patientâs situation is unique. For accurate diagnosis and tailored management, it is important to discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and blood pressure trends in detail
You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation
