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.
