Can You Stop Taking Blood Pressure Medication?

Hello Dr. I would like to stop taking my high blood pressure medication because it is causing me great hair loss. I would like to know if it is possible to stop taking high blood pressure medication by eating healthy foods, changing my diet, and exercising daily?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Regarding your concern, I would explain that it depends on your blood pressure values, if it can be controlled with natural remedies. If you have very high blood pressure values, natural remedies are not very effective. Anyway, if your current antihypertensive therapy is causing such adverse effects, I would recommend switching to other drugs, which do not have this adverse effect. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
