Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
should i be taking amlodipine, and lisinopril/hydrochlorithyozide ?I am a 55yr old woman apx 5ft10in. wt. is 240lbs. have had high blood pressure for apx. 10 yrs. high was apx. 162/105 before treatment. Also take synthroid because thyroids were removed in 1992. take chlorestorol med. pravastatin. level is apx. 184 was apx 220 before treatment.
You certainly need medicine and you are on fairly appropriate medicine. Continue with the same. However keep monitoring your blood pressure regularly. Also have low salt and sugar diet, and regular exercises. Avoid smoking if any. I guess sugars must have been tested.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Sagar Makode
