high bp

Sometime ago a close friend of mine had a stroke and this scared me so I checked my blood pressure after seeing his condition. It was 150\100 and it gave me concern.I saw a doctor and he mentioned that I should rest and do some lifestyle changes. Afterwards I checked once or twice every week for a month and it was 140/90. Meanwhile,all this while I have had anxiety & stress with random headaches and dizziness. Today I decided to check it again and it was 155/100 for the first reading,after relaxing abit the second reading dropped to 140/100.I wasn't satisfied so i decided to go to another clinic and i was shocked that it rose to 160/100. Does bloating contribute to make it high? What do i do? Please read carefully and advise.

Your anxiety raises your BP so relax when taking it. Adopt lifestyle change like diet and exercise. Low sodium, low fat diet can help but I suggest ask your doctor for professional advice because i think your BP is above tolerable level. Take care of yourself.

go to your dr have it check, buy a monitor at store check it a couple times a day like morning at night , keep record take to dr, if its up and down thats normal if its staying high you just need to change your diet , like no salt, but have it checked to be safe
