isolated systolic hypertension : is this a risk as regards heart
I am 75 old diabetic man. I discovered that I have Isolated systolic hypertension. HDL cholesterol is 36 (ref : more than 40 mg/dl) otherwise every thing is almost normal. Diabetes is mostly controlled (type 2) What do you suugest as a line of treatment . What I should avoid ? Can I receive viagra ? what I should avoid concerning the diet ? Any other suggestions . Thanks
Sorry, I cannot further elaborate on isolated systolic hypertension as this diabetic forum is not the place to discuss it, nor am I well versed. Try posting on both high blood pressure/hypertensions forums.
"Also can I take sildenafil ?"
This is something a stranger on a public health forum can not answer as we do not have to access to review your medical history. Only your health care provider does and only he/she can make that determination.
