Hi well come to HCM.
What drug you are taking you have not mentioned. Yes you can very well give trial if
the drug being used is in sustaine release form and there the feect will remain for 24 hrs.
At times if the stress and aniety is removed it may help you to reduce the dose.Change
in life style and improvement in dietary habbit,exercise all this have positve impact on
Blood pressure. But Bp mau not rebound foe few days so watch on your Bp is very
essential. Thanks
