I am 25 yo female. I recently checked my blood pressure which measured 150/107 .it keeps fluctuating 136/98 and higher. Should I take pressure medication? I feel dizzy and have bad headaches. I even am facing anxiety issues .Feel like fainting. My doctor has asked me to change my lifestyle and see after 6 months .but I don't think I can wait that long without doing something about it. Please help.

Fluctuation between 136 AND 150 Systolic is not much. Diastolic suggests higher level . Wider Diastolic fluctuations are not seen normally . Hence you must strictly follow life style measures like ideal weight 63 Kg max in your case. No fried food, daily moderate exercise , regular time table , no personal habits like alcohol or Tobacco. Get your BP checked regularly on Mercury BP Apparatus by a doctor every week at specific same time in rest . Keep a diary of records. Show the diary to your doctor every 2 months to fix your average reading and then draw the strategy. Above BP recordings do not cause any severe complaints Hence there may be anxiety . Proceed as per advice of the doctor
