Suggest Remedy For Hypertension

I am suffering from hypertension from the age of 18. now my age is 28. my mummy and daddy is also suffering from this. Approx one and half year ago, i felt light chest pain (on those days, i didn t take medicines from 1 year). after checkup, my blood pressure was 150/90 approx. doctors suggested me to take telmikind 20. after 1 month my pressure was 160/90 then they suggested me to take metosartan 40+25. they suggested to go with renal artery angio and doppler study and told me that you are suffering from segmental renal artery stenosis. Then i gone to AIIMS Delhi. After Echo and doppler they didn t find any problems to worry (Just mild LVH). Then they suggested me to take amlong H. after that my pressure became almost normal in normal conditions. after 1 yr of continuous medication, my pressure becomes slightly below the normal range then i have self decided to take half of this tab daily. After some days, during my personal and family tension, my pressure became again high (150/90) and some times i was feeling slight chest pain. Then again i started to take 1 tab daily and gone to specialist doctor and then he suggested to continue amlong h and start ramipril 2.5. now my pressure is almost normal without starting ramipril 2.5. should i start ramipril 2.5 or not?????? how long will i be on medication???? now i am feeling more sweating than others as well as frequent numbness of legs, hands etc. plz help me....thanks a lot.....

Non pharmacological measures such as diet , physical activity , weight reduction if over weight will reduce BP to the extent of up to 10 mm of Hg. If medication is helping further in reducing to ideal levels , trial of reduction in dosage can be implemented. Special situations like fever, gastro enteritis require adjustment of dose temporarily. Otherwise, better not to stop anti hypertensive. regular follow up under Physician is worth it.
