Lately, my blood pressure seems to be higher than what's considered normal, at 12080. I found this out during my annual medical check-up, and now I can't stop worrying about it. Any advice on how I can manage this or stop overthinking about my BP?

View allI'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. I recently went to the doctor, and they found it was 130100. I'm 28 years old, and when the doctor asked about my family history, I mentioned that my dad has high blood pressure but it's quite rare. The doctor didn't prescribe anything right now, just said to check it again in a month. I'm currently on antibiotics for a sore throat. Are there any tips you could give me to help manage or cure this?
Maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet. Reduce sodium intake in your diet. Increase potassium-rich foods such as bananas, oranges, and potatoes. Limit alcohol consumption. Manage stress through relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation. Get an adequate amount of quality sleep each night. Avoid smoking and limit caffeine intake. If after a month your blood pressure remains high, you may need medication to help control it. It's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

How do you stop a heart attack immediately?
Acting quickly can save lives. If given quickly after symptoms, clot-busting and artery-opening medications can stop a heart attack, and having a catheterization with a stent put in may open a closed blood vessel. The longer you wait for treatment, the more chances of survival go down and damage to the heart goes up.

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure readings over the past two days. They've been around 10476, 11076, 10583, and 10366. This started after I switched my medication from Metoprolol 50 mg to Tazloc CT 406.25 about 10 days ago. Are these readings considered low? Could you please tell me what would be considered low blood pressure?
The blood pressure readings you have provided are within the normal range. Low blood pressure is typically considered to be a systolic pressure less than 90 mmHg and a diastolic pressure less than 60 mmHg. Since your readings are consistently above these values, your blood pressure is not considered low. Regarding the medication change from metoprolol to tazloc CT-406.25, it seems to be working well for you as your blood pressure readings are within the normal range. Keep monitoring your blood pressure regularly and consult your doctor if you have any concerns
