I've been monitoring my blood pressure and it's usually around 13090 or 13787, which I'm not sure if that's high or normal. Do I need to be on any medication for this? At home, it's typically 13086, but at work, I've noticed it goes up to 14085 or sometimes even 14080. How can I keep my blood pressure at a healthy level? Should I be worried about these readings or is this something normal? Could you give me some advice on this?

I'm dealing with high blood pressure since 2020 and I often have headaches and chest pain. My average blood pressure is around 150100. My doctor has prescribed me olmesartan 20mg. Should I be concerned about these symptoms, and is the medication dosage suitable?

Since you are already taking olmesartan 20mg for your high blood pressure, it is important to continue with the medication as prescribed by your doctor. In addition to olmesartan, you can also consider adding a calcium channel blocker such as Amlodipine 5mg to further control your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
