My grandmmother is 81 yrs old. Checked her bp several times over a 3hr period and always got 190/90.  Doctor gave her CAPTOPRIL 10 minutes ago.  Her hands and feet are cold.  Shes weak and cant stand up.  She can move her arms and feet and didnt have a hard time in the bathroom 3 hrs ago.  Pls. advise.  Tks.
In my opinion she should be started only on Amlodipine (Novas) 5 mg once daily in the morning. Wait for at least a week while having her B. P recorded during that week 3 times per day. The new Chat Doctor.  For her the target resting BP should be below 140/90mmHg. The dose of Amlodipine may be titrated to 10 mg daily if BP still going above 160/90mmHg. If you need further help regarding BP control strategy, feel free to contact.
