Excessive Sweating On Face And Head. Prescribed With Hypertension Medication. Alternate Treatment?
hi, i have recently started having a problem with excessive sweating on the face and head during the day as well as night time. my doctor said my bp was high and said i need to be on lifeterm medication for high bp. i feel this is unnecessary as im 35 years old and do not want to be on lifelong tablets for high bp although hypertension runs in my family, i believe there will be an alternative solution. i have thought my sweating is due to humidity as im not like this in winter. please give me your suggestions. thanks

High blood pressure is most of the time asymtomatic hence hypertension needs tobe detected by doctor high BP runs in family as you have positive family history. A single high recording of BP is not enough but if this is persistently high then some measures like common salt restriction and reduction in weight if you are overweight ,stopage of tobacco/smoking and alcohol ,and regular exercise if you are sedentary if these don't work or you keep high BP drugs are necessary and we have seen they are required for long periods or most of the times life long.
