Hi... Sorry to hear about the problem. ... If your blood pressure is 160/120 on the medication, then you should talk to your doctor about possibly increasing the medicine as the BP is not well controlled.
There are many reasons for the pain. With the high BP you should talk to your doctor and atleast get an ECG to get it checked out.
Hope this helps, Please let me know should you need anything.
Thanks

I am using olmezest h20 tab for hypertension, my bp reading shows like 135/85 is it normal or not? How often check bp readings. Can I change my tab olmezest am20 instead of olmezest h20. Which is effective and less side effects. Pls suggest. Regards.

Your bp is within normal range. No need to change medicines. Monitor your bp randomly. If majority readings are less than 140/90, then continue the same medicines no need to change.

Thanks for the query.
It is difficult to give an opinion whether you should take Cardace 2.5 without knowing all the details like blood glucose control, HbA1c%, creatinine & urea level. Plus the blood cell counts. Only mentioning low counts is not the info I can rely. Thanks.

Hi
YES you should take these medications and You need to understand about high blood pressure.
Normal range of blood pressure is between 90/60 to 140/90, anything above or below is is abnormal.
Many factors can affect blood pressure, including:
1) The amount of water and salt you have in your body
2) The condition of your kidneys, nervous system, or blood vessels
3) Your hormone levels
You are more likely to be told your blood pressure is too high as you get older. T...more

As you said your physical activity is nil. Try to improve that first. Plus you need to control your stress and anxiety. Healthy diet low in salt, fat, simple carbohydrate and rich in fibres, vegetables along with daily exercise may help to control your bp.
