Can BP Medication Be Discontinued After Blood Pressure Is Regularized?
I would recommend as follows.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your blood pressure values are still high, above the normal ranges (130/85 mmHg). For this reason, it is necessary to continue taking your anti-hypertensive therapy.
If your blood pressure values are above the normal ranges even with this therapy, I would recommend increasing the doses in order to have better management of blood pressure values.
I would also recommend checking your kidney function levels periodically (considering your past medical history) along with electrolytes levels for possible imbalance. Losartan can lead to high potassium levels.

Hello,
With such blood pressure values, it is not necessary to take anti-hypertensive therapy. I would also recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values frequently and check your kidney function tests and blood electrolytes periodically.
A diet with low salt intake and low caffeine can help lower your blood pressure values naturally. I would also recommend being active (walking, aerobics, recreational sports, etc).
Hope you will find this answer helpful! Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you all the best.

My answer is as follows.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
This could be related to the amount of fluid that you are taking and the kidney dysfunction. Anyway, I would recommend performing some tests to investigate for the possible causes:
- A urinary tract ultrasound
- A urine analysis
- Kidney function tests.
If all these tests result normal, you may need to slightly reduce fluid intake during the day.
Hope to have been helpful! Wishing you good health.
