High Blood Pressure
Hi
My dad had done with by-pass surgery in 2003.
Usually his Bp is always on higher side
Currently using : metxl 50 (twice a day)
And ecosprin av 150/20 ( night time)
This has been continuous from past 4years
But still his BP shows as 150/100
He is paralysed from 2012.
And his sugar levels will be on an avg 120
Please suggest if the tab metxl needs to be replaced or should use more power?

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
You need not change any medicines now.
His body has become accustomed to this high level.
Just ask him to restrict his dietary salt intake and that would be enough.
Ask him not to miss any medicines.
Also his sugars are also fine.
Best regards.
