Blood Pressure issue
I used to take BP medicine for the past 6 years. Doctor had prescribed it because my BP had shot up to 140/100 six years ago. Since then I am taking BP medicine, tellmisartan.
Initially I was taking tellmisartan H 40 in
the morning and amlodipin at night however the doctor stopped the night medicine a couple of years ago and advised to take tellmisartan H 80 instead. Recently I have observed that my BP used to be lower than 120/80 hence I had consulted doctor. He advised to monitor my BP for two weeks after stopping the medicine.
Post two weeks I did find that my BP is on an average 123/83. The doctor has stopped my intake of BP medicine.
