I can understand your concern. You had history of p. viva malaria.  You took Méchain. It is Chat Doctor.  Your persistent high blood pressure of 160/100 is not due to side effects of Méchain. You should take salt restricted diet and repeat your blood pressure after a week interval for two to three times. Mostly it will come down to normal. If your blood pressure remains persistently high then you should take antihypertensive  </s>
