What are the medicines that help in regulating BP?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 58 years old. I do not have any health problems except high BP. In spite of medicines, my BP does not come down. First I tried Eslo 5 mg and Amlodac 5 mg and now I am on Cilaheart 10 mg. But, my BP remains at 140/100 mmHg. I do not smoke or drink. I eat less and avoid red meat and high protein. Please suggest a suitable medication.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

We are here to help you.

Reading your case scenario, I would just recommend addition of diuretic like Hydrochlorothiazide to your existing regimen.

I would also recommend you to go for a walk daily and take low salt diet. I am very hopeful, that your blood pressure would improve by just adding a diuretic. So, ask your doctor for a prescription and write back to me after two weeks with the BP chart that you would note down.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thank you.

The Probable causes

Investigations to be done

Get the following test done such as serum creatinine, fasting lipid profile, urine for microalbumin and ECG (electrocardiogram).

Treatment plan

The treatment plan is adding up a diuretic and lifestyle modification.

Regarding follow up

Revert back after two weeks to a cardiologist online.
