BP Under Control, No Heart Enlargement, On Losanorm 50. Natural Way To Control BP Without Medicines?
Good afternoon, Doctor My name is Prashanth and i am from Bangalore. I was detected with Hypertension in 2006 at the age of 32, coz i was under pressure due to the death of my Brother-in-Law. Since then i was advised to take Losanorm 50H in the Morning and Aten 25 in the Night, Later on since my BP came to normal my doctor advised me to continue with Losanorm 50 and my ECG which i done recently is normal and there is no Enlargement in the Heart . My daily routine starts with my Gym every day and i have been doing it from several years and i am a vegetarian. Doctor my Question is Do i have any side effects by consuming Losanorm 50? Is there a natural way to control my BP without taking tablets.

Hi
at present you are taking ACE inhibitor and ARB combination medication
this are time tested , well tolerated medicine with less side effect , side effect is retention of potassium if kidney function is compromise
you can continue very safely this medicine for long term as far as your BP under control and your kidney function and serum potassium level are with in normal limits,
natural way of controlling BP is
low salt diet (salt intake regular walking
relaxing exercise yogas , pranayams
low fat , high fibre diet (DASH diet means diet rich in fresh fruit and green leafy vegetables ,high in fibre , low in fat and salt)
quit tobacco use
limit alcohol intake
having pets
take care
