I'm really worried about my mom. She had a CABG x 2 about three months ago and now she's started feeling numb all over her chest and body for about an hour.

View allI'm dealing with a high blood pressure reading of 13693 and I typically only manage to get about 5 to 6 hours of sleep each night. Could this lack of sleep be affecting my blood pressure levels? Although Ive had some mild anxiety in the past, Im feeling alright now, yet my blood pressure remains high. Is this normal or should I consider starting medication, or would making changes to my lifestyle be sufficient to manage it? What would you recommend?
Lack of sleep can indeed impact your blood pressure. In addition to lifestyle changes, you may benefit from medication to help manage your high blood pressure. I recommend you start taking Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) 50mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make sure to get enough sleep each night. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing activities can also help in managing your anxiety and blood pressure.
