Hi Janet,

It seems that the medicines prescribed for high blood pressure are having higher dosage than needed for your husband in current situation. It could be because of probable stress reduction too that required the start of medicines in the first place. It some patients, it takes time to adjust to a certain dose for hypertension in the phase when medicines are started. So dose increase or reduction is required until finalizing a specific dose that suits.

You should consult the prescribing doctor and ask him to adjust the dosage. For stress induced hypertension, yoga and meditation can help for long term control of blood pressure.

I hope this information is helpful. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic.

Best,
