dc.description.abstractThe current 2024 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guideline for the management of elevated blood pressure and hypertension defines blood pressure less than 115/65 mmHg by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) as nonelevated, blood pressures in-between 115–129 and 65–79 mmHg as elevated blood pressure, and hypertension as ≥130/80 mmHg. There, might be patients seeking medical attention for the symptoms, apparently nonspecific but suggestive of hypertension with optimal, or not elevated, or elevated blood pressure values. A female patient with complaints of headache and dizziness lasting for 2 months has been evaluated in cardiology outpatient clinic and assessed by ABPM. It has been told that she had previously blood pressure of 90–100/50–60 mmHg and was suffering from headache when systolic blood pressure exceeds 110 mmHg. Her 24-h ABPM revealed systolic and diastolic blood pressure as 106/63 mmHg showing nighttime decrease compared with daytime pressures (98/59 mmHg and 108/68 mmHg, respectively). Thereafter, she was instructed to keep continuing the life-style modification and given to beta-blocker (bisoprolol 5 mg) as an antihypertensive treatment. At the end of the 2 weeks of follow-up period, she was headache-free and was feeling comfortable and well with a mean home blood pressure of 98/56 mmHg. We have presented prosperous antihypertensive treatment of a female patient suffering from headache and dizziness with a numerically normal or nonelevated blood pressure. In the presence of symptoms and having not elevated or elevated blood pressure levels, patients’ history on previous measure of blood pressure might facilitate our decision-making process.
