Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that from the beginning of a new anti-hypertensive therapy (or from the changes made in your current therapy), a period of time up to a week is needed to achieve a equilibrium in your blood pressure values.
I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values during this period of time.
If after a week, your blood pressure values are still high (above 140/90 mmHg), you should discuss with your doctor on the possibility of making further changes to your therapy (increase doses or add new anti-hypertensive drugs) in order to have a better control of your blood pressure.
I would also advice some tips that can help you maintain a better control of blood pressure values naturally:
- reduce salt and caffeine intake
- perform a lot of physical activity (walking, aerobics, etc.)
- try to lose some pounds if you are overweight.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
