What are the medicines that help in regulating BP?

Question

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.
