Hello friend, Thank you for using Health care magic. I am a Homoeopath and will be answering in a different perspective than the conventional medicine. First of all you have not given what is your BP and its variations. If it was noted one year before, then my advise is to stop the medication you are taking for one week at least and check the BP again. That will be your BP even when you are under medication. But you will not be knowing that because of the action of the drug that you are taking. The very fact that doctors advise you not to stop the medication, makes it clear that your High BP cannot be cured by such medications. But in Homoeopathy, High BP can be cured by individualistic treatment. We do not hold that your high BP is to be treated. It is YOU who have to be treated, because,high BP is a defence mechanism of the body to cope up with tensed situations or stressful situations. When a dog chases you, your BP increases. When you are angrily fighting with another individual your BP is increased. Persons who are playing very hard in a serious foot ball match with real intention to defeat the enemies have very high BP. These are acute situations where the body needs more of oxygen through increased heart rate, increased blood circulation etc. to cope up with the situations Then the BP will be increased. There will be individual variations in the intensity and duration in all these conditions. This is because the individual sensitivity and reaction of each individual will be varying. There are a lot of psychological variants involved in the particular situations I have mentioned above where one individual is different from another individual. If an individual is under constant stressful life situations or if the individual by nature is a very sensitive or easily offended type of personality, then his BP will be higher than normal and such people are considered hypertensive individuals who are treated by medications that will help them only to reduce the BP of high measurements. In reality, his BP is increased by the body as a defence mechanism to enable him to cope up with his life situations. This is not to be treated. What really needs to be treated is one s hyper sensitivity to his life situations. For that he should be made aware of the process of development of the stress for him, how he is reacting, what changes he has to bring in to make the life situations less conflicting etc. If he cannot by himself make adjustments to correct his way of thinking, way of taking things in the way they should be taken for healthy life, way of reacting to each situation etc, then he needs Homoeopathic medicines for getting real cure because in Homoeopathy, the mind and sensitivities are considered as very important in all diseases especially in high BP. So in your case my advise is to approach an expert Homoeopath because he can understand YOU as a person and will give your genetic constitutional remedy to make you healthy. When you are turned healthy, your high BP will be reduced. You can live very healthy without any chemical drugs which will only reduce your BP and will never make you healthy. If you go on with anti hypertensive drugs, even if your blood sugar is normal now, after some more years of anti hypertensive drugs, you may become diabetic. Because reducing BP by drugs is not a curative process but a suppressive method and so disease must be expressed at a higher level and so either diabetes or other neurological complications are likely to follow. Then the conventional medicine will tell you that hypertension is a precondition to develop diabetes. Controlling the life styles like keeping away from smoke and drinks, healthy diet, proper exercise are all important for a healthy living but they may not be enough to tackle your sensitivities and reactions in the mental level which will percolate slowly or faster to physical level. With best wishes for a speedy cure through Homoeopathy, Dr. C. J. Varghese Homoeopath drcjvarghese@gmail.com
