My father is having frequent attacks of high blood pressure. First time it went to 210 /110… second time it went 185/110 and now it touches 150/90 or even 100 often. Normally it can be observed as 135/85. He is 72 years of age. A sportsman with a good physique. And is taking Amtas 25 as the medicine for bp. We went through TMT,Folder test and even the engiography. Every thing appears to be normal. Please advice

Your blood pressure and heart rate are real time indicators of your body’s need at that moment in time. Exceptions are when blood pressure drops when you are hypovolemic, dehydrated, very ill or dying. At those times blood pressure may be low but the heart rate may be elevated. But if your blood pressure is elevated it is usually elevated for a reason. Which is why one should try find out why it is high, rather than to just lower your blood pressure and not fix the real problem. In other words it is more important to focus on overall health rather than to aim for ideal blood pressure and continue an unhealthy diet and lifestyle.

I’m 45 and have a high stress career that often demands that I work very long hours for months at a time and often I get less than 2 hours of sleep because of it. I have 3 kids and do the majority of parenting and household chores. I run 3 times a week, totaling 30 kilometers but over the past couple of years, especially recently, my blood pressure has been steadily rising. Now for the past year it has been around 150 / 110. I don’t know what to do. I can’t change my career and my husband refuses to help with kids or chores. I feel like I just need to accept that I will end up living a shorter life and possibly having a stroke. Maybe that will take me away from all of this crazy stress. Is there anything I can do? Please help.

I hope you are doing better. I have high blood pressure too and was most likely caused by stress. Sending prayers.

My doctor was a little concerned that after being on Ramipril and Bisoprolol these were causing low blood pressure and slow heart beat to which last August (2022) I passed out at a bus stop. He took me off the two above medications and now I’m on Amiodarone for my heart as it was irregular (Arrhythmia) to which my blood pressure seems to be ok also ticking away quite happily, possibly a little low in the morning rising a little at night where I take readings AM and PM and submit these to him so he can keep an eye on me, otherwise ok.Reply
