I'm a bit worried because my doctor just told me my blood pressure is 17090. I don't have any other symptoms, but I'm wondering what steps I should take. Can you give me some advice on managing this?

Your reading of 17090 mmHg indicates that your blood pressure is quite high, and suggesting to check for 3 times a day for 3 days ,if it is persistantly high please consult your doctor Since high blood pressure may not always show obvious symptoms, regular monitoring and proactive management are key. Work closely with your healthcare provider to develop a personalized plan that fits your needs.

View allI've been dealing with high blood pressure for the past two years and I'm a bit worried because I'm currently taking Metzok 50 every day. Is there anything else I should be doing to better control my hypertension? I'm just not sure if the medicine alone is enough or if there are other lifestyle changes I should be aware of.
To control high blood pressure effectively, it is important to continue taking your medication as prescribed. Metzok 50 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker commonly used to treat hypertension. The usual dosage for Metoprolol in hypertension is 50-100mg once daily. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and timing of your medication. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, limiting alcohol intake, and managing stress can also help in controlling high blood pressure.

After recovering from COVID over a month ago, I've noticed my blood pressure has been consistently high, ranging between 145-165. I've been really disciplined with my diet and make sure to walk twice a day for 30 to 40 minutes. Is this high BP normal for someone in my situation, or could there be something else going on health-wise? What do you think?
After recovering from COVID-19, it is not uncommon for some patients to experience fluctuations in their blood pressure. In your case, with a consistently elevated blood pressure ranging between 145-165, it is important to monitor this closely. Since you are following a strict diet and exercise routine, there may be an underlying issue causing this spike. Considering your history of high blood pressure, it is advisable to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try incorporating medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help manage your blood pressure. Additionally, continue with your healthy lifestyle habits and monitor your blood pressure regularly.

I take concor 5mg for my hypertension and high heart rate. I vomited about an hour after taking my dose today. Should I be worried that the tablet might have come out, or is it fine to just continue with my next dose tomorrow?
In this case, it would be best to not take another dose today. Wait until your next scheduled dose tomorrow. If you continue to experience vomiting or any other concerning symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.
