Hypertension, should i worry if its moderate? -

my average blood pressure over the last couple of weaks every day has been about 150-162 for the systolic (top), and 90-107 for the diostolic. This is from a machine at home, do you think that i should go to the doctor to check it out, or what should i do.

Get it checked but do not take drugs for it. Yes kidney problems definitely affect it so chek your kidneys. There is a blood pressure tea that has herbs that help the kidney and liver. If it is not from the kidney problem then do natural things to lower it like exercise (see site below).

Absolutely go to the doctor. That is fairly high and high blood pressure can put further stress on your kidneys.

That makes a difference. Not sure what your problems are...but that s a tad high for an everyday walking around blood pressure. If you have kidney problems, many blood pressure meds can add to the kidney problems ...so you d be wise in discussing it with a doctor and even a pharmacist as to medical options. Garlic and Cayenne capsules, 2 taken 3 times per day can help with BP...but again without knowing the extent of your kidney issues..it s a tough call. I would also look in your area for a practicing Naturopathic doctor for even more options... Time to check things out properly to avoid future problems...no reason you can t have everything addressed and some solutions worked out.
