Should I Still Continue Telma Despite Having Low BP?

Hello doctor, i was advised by my doctor in June 2014 to take Telma 40 on a daily basis when he found my BP at around 150/100. Now with this medication, it is found to be under 125/80. Should i still continue taking this medicine or stop it. Pls advise.

I am a 31 year old male, 6 feet tall and 90 kgs weight.

Hi hypertension is regarded as one of risk factor for Diabetes, Heart Attack, Stroke etc and it seems you are little overweight also which is an another risk factor for Diabetes, CAD etc . That B.P is normal only , you should cont your medicine and atleast do BP check once in a wk and do some exercise for weight reduction and stay healthy :)
