A basic first aider can not give any treatment for people with hypertension. A person who may have recorded their blood pressure results, and found out it was high does not mean they have hypertension. You should monitor your blood pressure results for a week at the same time each day, advised morning, before and after meals, and when going to sleep. If your results continue to be high, then contact a gp.
If you are unsure, then give your GP a call and find out more information.
