Hypertension, How Do I Get Medicine ?

Im 36 years old and Ive had hypertenion for the past 4 years now. Ive been on medicine since then (210 over 110). Since then I have changed jobs who dont offer health insurance and cant afford a single policy. I have not been takin my medicine now for almost a month now. Starting to get headachs again and other symptoms. Need to know how do i get free medical attention for this and a refill on my prescription ? ANYONE CAN HELP ME PLEASE, before i have a stroke or a heart attack?

I suggest you write to the manufacterer of your particular medication, more and more of those companies are providing people who need assistance with their meds at a reduced price or even free. You could also call your doctor and ask him if you can get a bunch of samples from him, many doctors stock samples in fairly large quantities in thier offices.
Note: For further follow-up it is advisable to consult an emergency medicine specialist. Click here.
