Yes seeing the patient profile u can start her on antihypertensive but it would require more details as to which antihypertensive to start
Next Steps
kindly contact me on practo where i can evaluate her further and provide a prescription for her
Health Tips
she would need regular follow up initially and after her BP settles follow up can be kept at longer intervals
