I've been dealing with high blood pressure and I'm taking my meds like met xl and CTD 6.25 regularly. My weight is fine at 51 kg and I haven't had any heart issues, but I'm really into the idea of starting to run in the mornings. Is it safe for me to do that with my high BP?

It is generally safe for individuals with high blood pressure to engage in aerobic exercises like running. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine. Since you are already on medication for high BP (Met XL and CTD 6.25), your doctor may need to adjust your dosage or provide specific guidelines for exercising. It is also important to monitor your blood pressure before and after exercise, and to stay hydrated during your run.

I've been checking my blood pressure with a monitor, and every time the cuff gets tighter, I start feeling some chest pressure. It's not super strong, but I definitely notice it, and it happens every time I check. My blood pressure was 12588. I'm also worried because I get chest pains sometimes. What could be causing this?

The sensation of chest pressure when the blood pressure cuff is tightened could be due to increased pressure on the chest wall. However, since you also mentioned that you experience chest pains sometimes, it is important to monitor this closely. With a blood pressure reading of 12588, it is within the prehypertension range. To help manage your blood pressure and chest discomfort, you can take a low dose of Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) 5mg once daily. Additionally, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
