DEAR USER
THANKS FOR CONSULTING AT HCM

I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN..

BUT FROM YOUR HISTORY IT SEEMS AS IF YOU HAVE STOPPED THE MEDICATION FOR BLOOD PRESSURE

A PAST HISTORY OF PREECLAMPSIA DURING YOUR PREGNANCY WAS BECAUSE OF UNDERLYING HYPERTENSION

I THINK YOU NEED TO CONTINUE WITH YOUR MEDICATION AND NOT TO STOP THEM UNLESS TOLD BY YOUR PHYSICIAN

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE HAS MANY COMPLICATIONS IN LONG TERM LIKE

MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
NEPHROPATHY
RETINOPATHY ETC

HENCE PREVENTING THIS HIGH BP BY MEDICATION IS TO BE SORT

YOU ALSO REQUIRE CERTAIN LIFE STYLE MODIFICATION LIKE

LOW SALT DIET

DAILY BRISK WALKING FOR 20MIN PER DAY

GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES

AVOID JUNK FOODS

THESE MEASURES WILL HELP YOU REDUCE YOUR BP
