My husband is 52 and he has variable high blood pressure. Every time doctors tried to give him blood pressure medication his blood pressure dropped down too low. The last doctor said to try yoga and meditation.... His blood pressure is sometimes normal 123/83 or sometimes high as 168/105 ....Dont know what to do to regulate it...Any suggestions?
Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to Chat Doctor. I carefully read your query. Now, the age of 52 years old is an age which is accompanied by a higher risk of hypertension (high blood pressure) diagnosis. However, this is not a rule or something that happens always. You should know that there are a lot of blood pressure fluctuations throughout a day, that can be caused by a lot of reason, such as stress, physical stress, diurnal and nocturnal changes in various hormonal levels etc. My recommendation, at this point, would be for him to be put on a 24/48-hour blood pressure monitor, to decide whether the diagnosis of hypertension is there or not. Also, even if it is there, there are a lot of Chat Doctor.
