About 4 weeks ago I was admitted to hospital with hypertension and prescribed appropriate medication to bring it down. My pulse rate has certainly improved and general 'facial flushing' has reduced. However, on checking with the Dr today, it is now at 180/120 (both arms, and after a 'rest' period). I am returning on Monday for blood tests, but am concerned that because of my age, 37, the condition is not being treated as aggressively as if i was an obese 50yr old. Am I right to be concerned or should I just keep quiet and take the pills?
