Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If blood pressure is not decreased then it may be controlled by alternate medicine otherwise it may cause dissection of aorta. In aneurysmal patients may be used beta blockers or nitroprusside to control blood pressure. Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you with alternate medicine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
