Q. What is the treatment plan for CKD and high blood pressure?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand what you are going through, but there is no need to worry. Hypertension is very common these days, because of the prevalence of bad lifestyle, genetic predispositions, etc. In your case, your mom's history of CKD (chronic kidney disease) increases your chance of hypertension. I suggest you get CBC (complete blood count), lipid profile, urine analysis, and EKG (electrocardiogram), to review your cardiovascular system. To help reduce your blood pressure, changes have to be made as follows. Lifestyle modification is the first step, you have to eat healthily. Eat more of vegetables, nuts, fruits, whole grains, fish, and chicken. Try to exercise at least 3 to 5 days in a week. Reduce salt intake and always get adequate sleep. If after three weeks your blood pressure does not normalize, you will have to start taking medications.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Since you have already done the tests and they were all normal, you can start taking medication. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. I will suggest you try taking the following. Take Tablet Concor (Bisoprolol fumarate) 5 mg, once daily in the morning. This is for hypertension. Take Tablet Valerian extracts 400 mg, two hours before your bedtime. This you should take when you are not getting enough sleep. Please remember to reduce salt intake.
