Question
Doctor, I sometimes have high blood pressure, should I take my blood pressure medicine regularly? My normal level is 110/70 but one day it suddenly went up to 140/82. I hope you can help me with the above case.

Hello. At his age, he needs to take medicine when resting blood pressure is > 140 mmHg, temporarily not really necessary.
However, because of his age, he needs to closely monitor, measure his blood pressure 2-3 times a day, morning and evening. If your blood pressure is >140 mmHg or you have unusual symptoms, you should see a cardiologist.
You can register for examination at medical facilities near your home or hospitals under Vinmec Health System. Thank you for sharing the question “Should I take my blood pressure medication from time to time with high blood pressure?” to Vinmec. Wishing you good health always.
