Hi. My name is Sherri, and I have been placed on blood pressure medication for 6 months although I do not have high blood pressure. I am 41 years old, and take a yearly health assessment, and my blood pressure has always been normal. I had a reading four days prior to going to a family practioner, which was 120/70. When I saw him, my pressure was 140/90. This is the highest it has ever been. I explained to him that I was extremely stressed due to recent life changes (loosing my job). I also explained to him that 4 days prior to visiting him, my pressure was normal. He took one reading and placed me on medication for 6 months. What will happen if I stop taking the medication? I am quite depressed that I have to take the medcation daily. I exercise 4-5 times a week, have a personal trainer, jog, etc. I have been on the medication for three months, and am afraid to stop taking it. However, I no longer have health insurance, and therefore, can't see a doctor who can wing me off the meds.
