Suggest Treatment To Control Blood Pressure

My blood pressure has been extremely high 170/100 to 134/94. My psychiatrist feels it is an adverse reaction to Wellbutrin 300XL ( I have been taking it for approx 8 mo) He has weaned me off and my PCP has ordered dyazide. I have only been taking the dyazide for 5 days, pressures are still high no matter what time of day. Do you know how long the hypertension from the Wellbutrin will continue. I also take Fetzima which they feel may be attributing to the hypertension, the dose has been cut in half and will wean off by the end of the week. I have been unable to find any info on the internet. Thankyou.

Hi dear thanks for asking question.

You are previously taking drug bupropion which is used for psychiatric problem.
Usually not single factor lead to hypertension.
You might have drug and stress induce hypertension.

So first thing try to avoid stress.
Avoid smoking
Early in morning do yoga.
Do regular 1 hour exercise.
Take low salt diet.
Low fatty diet taken....
Drink more water....

If still with life style measures bp not comes down and remain above 160/90 consult doctor for starting antihypertensive medication.

Hope your concern solved.
