My husband has fluctuations in BP for the last 1 month. His BP went upbto 200 and at columbia asia they did all the tests to rule out triggers. Thyroid adrenal ct scan, sleep study brain Holter test kidney tests etc and all thresults are normal. They have put him on stresspress xl 50 mg 101 and minipressxl 5 mg 001. Also ecosprin 75 one in the afternoon. Despite all these he still has head reeling And cannot do normal work. He feels tired and lays down most of the time. What is your advice?

Hypertension is a lifestyle disease which requires only a lifestyle solution and dietary changes and no medicine is needed. Do not believe blindly what your doctors say you have to take medicines lifelong .They may have vested interests. Detailed medical, dietary,occupational ,social, family,and environmental history taking is important to find the root cause. Reduce Salt, Reduce stress, Exercise daily-Sleep for 8 hours, reduce weight if you are over weight ,change diet and lifestyle. Has your Dr. done inflammatory panel tests, thyroid panel testing .Mineral and vitamin deficiency testing and their results. Get educated about the disease you have and question your doctor .You should have complete control over your health and not your Dr. Doctors are taught by pharma companies to medicate and get kickbacks for prescribing medicines Has your Dr. Excluded reversible causes of hypertension which when detected and treated completely reverses your BP otherwise you will be taking medicines lifelong unnecessarily without finding out the root cause Please do not blindly believe your drs and hospitals. Always get at least 2 extra opinions about your disease management. So Get the Right tests done, and Get the Right Advice from the Right doctor who is one takes a detailed history & educates you both before and after medicating you. Without detailed history taking they are not going to find the root cause of the disease Send a feedback with your name and contact number and try to reverse your BP by diet and lifestyle and few food supplements without any medication. I am a Lifestyle, and wellness Consultant from USA and only my initial consult works through Lybrate .Get ready to change your diet and lifestyle completely if you want get rid of BP medicines permanently. I treat the root cause and not the symptoms I doubt whether your drs have excluded all secondary causes of hypertension .I cannot comment because I have to see all the tests reports done by them Treat your personal trigger for high BP to fix the root cause and get off BP medications for ever provided you do not have any structural heart disease proved by cardiac tests like Echo, TMT etc. Get educated and never medicated.
