Is Lowering Of Blood Pressure Medication Advisable?
I am 76 yrs. of age. Male. I take 1x 2.5mg coversyl & 1x 1.25 mg. bicor daily & 20mg. Lasix each second day. My blood pressure readings at 8a.m. average 145/75 p.60. Is this normal? I was taking higher doses & my blood pressure was down around 120/60 p.55 but on the advice of my renal physician I dropped the dosages to the above. David

I really appreciate your concern, you are doing really well and in my opinion just keep the treatment as it is, it is highly advisable to get read the blood pressure by doctor because if you are going to read it on your own then chances of error would be very likely, hope this information helps, take care.
