Condition
High BP
High blood pressure is diagnosed when readings are 140/90 or higher on two different days, and many people have no symptoms, so checking is the only way to know. A healthier, lower-salt diet, more activity and quitting tobacco can help lower blood pressure, and many people still need medicines as well. ICMR-NIN advises no more than 5 g of salt a day. Monitoring plans help you log home readings daily on WhatsApp while a doctor reviews them. Any medicine decision stays with your doctor.

Questions
Do I need a new blood test before the consult?
No. If your reports are from the last 30 days, share them. A lab test is only if your doctor advises it.
Who changes blood pressure medicine?
Your doctor decides any dose change.
