High BP, Reducing Sodium Intake, Eating Healthier. On Clonidine Medication, BP Normal. Can I Stop Medication?
Was just put on blood pressure medication and I am now doing all I can to come off of it. Reducing my sodium and eating healthier. I also plan to start exercising more. How do I know when to quit taking my blood pressure medication...in other words...when is my blood pressure to low. Do I need to wean off of my blood pressure medication...can I cut the pills in half once I see my blood pressure is staying down on a consistent basis? I do not currently have a doctor...I discovered this by going to the emergency room and they put me on Clonidine ... 0.1 mg tabs, once a day.

Hello
If your BP constantly remains on lower side then you may think of reducing the anti hypertensive medicines,but this should be done under the guidance of a doctor and not by yourself.
You must take the help and services of a doctor where you can be monitored regularly by him.
Thanks
