Question 1

whats my blood pressure ?

Accepted Answer

I can never guess: Most people who check their blood pressure readings don't get the same reading on repeated measurements. Humans are not identical from moment to moment (we're not robots). Our emotions and activities change blood pressures. A person who sees variety in her measurements can just take 2 measurements every time and average them. If aged 50's, hopefully blood pressure is still in the normal range.

Effective BP med: There is no simple answer to your question. All BP meds have their advantages and disadvantages. If you have diabetes with protein in your urine, you would be best treated for hbp with drugs such as an ace-i or arb. If you have some angina, you may be treated well with beta-blockers. Parents are different and it's up to them to have a discussion with their doctors to get the best regimen possible.
