she is taking medicines.. 25mg.........today she checked after 1 month...her bp at 5.pm..........it is 150/90..dr told to increase the medicines by 75 mg....
she did really some extra heavy work...she s over weight...n she cycled 5 km... and did many works continuously comparing other days.... then only she went to dr ..

dr told to increase the medicine ... my mom asked her "shold take these extra medicine for life time"..she said "no..u take now ..l ii tell u later""
what s point is..she should check the bp for 3 days continuosly..then she should tell to increase the medicine...without she s saying like this...
another thing is she had to wait for 1 hour to meet dr..and today she had her periods...

Answers:

Nothing to worry about but a matter of concern, your doctor is following the SOP (Standard Operational Procedure), you are also correct she must have over exerted her self.
Her doctor is correct follow his advise, as he has started the medication/s, and he knows more about your mother physical status.
Increasing dosage is a must as age passes by to prevent end organs complications.
No doubt she is hypertensive.
