I am 58 years old. I just recently went for my new year check up - for the heart, kidneys, sugar dibetis my blood pressure was 122/75. I told my cardiologist that of late I am experiencing neck pains.My father died of heart failure, for a long time he was suffering form high blood pressure, so that is why I started checking my heart. I am at the moment having a problem with blood pressure. I only suffer from pains in my legs. So the doctor prescribed DAPAMAX 2.5 mg , 1 tablet every morning , to repeat 5 times. my weight is 104.3 , he has adivised me to try and loose my weight. It has been 104 for the last 2 years it is not increasing or decreasing, I try all the time to eat healthy, I have totaly cut salt, the only thing which I have a problem is chocolates. I did not ask the doctor why I am taking this talblets for....as person naturally I am not used to pills even I have head ache I drink lot of water or just relax . I would like to know what this tablets are for.
