Is It Ok To Stop Taking Your Blood Pressure Medicine ?
I quit smoking 1year 8 months ago, changed my diet and started jogging, I feel great! I take fish oil, vitaminE C, calcium supplements , ginko biloba, and Ginseng.I last saw my doctor 1/06 and he prescribed me dynacir 5 mg I stopped taking them in March and have been feeling great! I have a blood pressure monitor and I check it regularly and it s fine! Do you think smoking contributed to my high blood pressure? I ve never had a problem with my blood pressure until I started smoking! My blood pressure now is 120/80
