am a 45-year-old working professional in the media field, which can be quite stressful. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and cholesterol issues. Unfortunately, I stopped taking my blood pressure medication without consulting my doctor about a year ago. Occasionally, I experience dizziness and blurred vision. I am unsure whether this is due to an increase in high blood pressure or simply weakness. Could you please provide guidance on my situation?

Ans: Blood pressure medicine should be started with proper evaluation. And once started it cannot be stopped abruptly.
Definitely the symptoms you have has to do with your blood pressure fluctuation and it's impact on the retina.
Get yourself monitored 24hrsthroughambulatory BP measurement and Consult your doctor to restart the medication

Hi, This is Anand. I am 39+ now. Recently 4 months back I got severe headache and visited to hospital. My BP shown 180/130. After this I did health check up and found Cholesterol >350 and B12 very low. I started medicines, diet, walk and now my cholesterol is within the limit and B12 also good. I am measuring BP now a days in home it is showing 140/100 to 130/90. BP measured by doctor is 130/90 and BP medicines going on now a days. My question - How I can come out of medicines and BP ?

Ans: Hello Anand. Controlling BP is a multipronged effort. If you are overweight, reduce weight to achieve a BMI of 23-24. Try and keep a good routine and diet with reduced salt intake. Exercise moderately about 45 min daily which should be mainly cardiovascular exercise and only 1-2 days of strength training. Try and adopt some stress busting measures like yoga, breathing exercises, developing a hobby etc. Ensure good 7-8 hours of good quality sleep every day.

Hello Doctor. My name is Anil and I am based out in Delhi NCR. A few years back, I visited a hospital and just out of curiosity, got my blood pressure checked and the upper one was around 150. Doctor advised me to take precautions. A few days back, I again visited a hospital with my wife and this time as well, got my blood pressure checked and this time it came around 190. Can you please advise how serious it is. and if it can be cured by changing lifestyle etc. or a proper medication is required. I sometime feels dizziness, sleepiness and feverish.

Ans: This level of BP needs good control quickly. Please see a MD physician immediately and start medication while also starting lifestyle modifications. Slowly you can reduce the medicines and continue just lifestyle changes. Also you need to be evaluated to check for any effects of the high BP that have already occurred.
