Hypertension
Hello Doctor,
My husband is 6.1 in height and has a weight of 81 kgs. He walks 30-40 mins daily, however every second day that he checks his BP it usually comes around 130-140. If it goes higher he takes amlovas 5 mg. May I ask if this much BP is alarming or can be considered normal? ...
Should he be taking some medicines ! Plz guide.

If till 140 then it's ok. Do lifestyle and diet modifications first.
If doesn't improve then need to start proper medications after consultation
Can consult me privately for proper management and prescription

Wrong medication if hypertension present. Also it can not be taken as andwhen. It should be taken lifelong unless there is loss of weight.
