Ronak P asked:


I’m 18, south asian, and I’ll be on medication to control my high blood pressure. However, I’m also overweight. So, I was wondering that if I make a transition to a healthier lifestyle while taking the medication, is there anyway I could be off my medication in the future?

. asked:


Would the stopping of blood pressure controlling medication encourage someone to make healthy lifestyle choices like eating healthy, adequate water intake and exercise? Would it encourage someone to make a lifestyle change much sooner than they otherwise might decide on a much later time? What do you think?

Jackie Blue asked:


I’m unsually tired this morning. I do take blood pressure medication daily for the 9 mo. This morning checking my blood pressure at home it read 106/58, and pulse was 56. I began using flaxseed two weeks ago. I know it has many health benefits, including for blood pressure. Is this number a normal number, or low? I intend to monitor it for a few days, but do not know what represents a low enough number to call my doctor.
I am 53 yrs of age.

I am at a healthy weight, I exercise semi-regularly (school gets in the way sometimes). But my blood pressure is usually around 140/80. My doctor gave me Diovan, but I’m a little hesitant to take a blood pressure medication after some horror stories I’ve heard. What do you think?

Pants asked:


I have been taking blood pressure medication for 3 days, and although my blood pressure is now perfect, I feel awful.

I just wanted to know if this is something that is temporary, where the side effects you become immune to, or if this is something unusual?

I am a 33 yr old guy. My doctor just put me on 25mg of Hydrochlorothiazide. One pill a day. I started taking yesterday. I have been monitoring my blood pressure constantly since. Its still way too high. Should I be concerned and call my physician or wait a few days for the medication to take effect.
