Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I just started taking medication for elevated blood pressure (low dose water pill). I t was averaging 150/95 with 100 pulse rate...I have been on medication now for 6 days and I took my pressure today it is 109/75 pulse 98. Is this too much of a drop?
Hello, I understand your worry. But no need to worry. It is normal to have a drop in blood pressure when you are taking blood pressure medications. 109/75 mmHg is OK. You should continue with medication as prescribed. Warm regards
