Is There Any Other Way To Stop The Drugs?
I have been on blood pressure pills for a couple of years along with plavix? I have gone off the drugs and have been able to control my blood pressure but am concerned about being off the blood thinning drug. Is there something that I can do so I don t have to go back on the drugs?

Hello,
First of all it’s not advisable to stop or alter the dose of any medicines without consulting a doctor. And when it comes to hypertensive drugs, it’s a big no, stopping medicine on your own. Making life style changes can help a lot. Although the medicine shouldn’t be stopped as it is supposed to be taken life long. You might feel the pressure is under control but suddenly it can shoot up and cause damage to internal organs. So talk to your doctor about it and follow his advice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
