Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
MY blood preasure at the clinic is about 150/65 with a beat of 60 At home it is about 134/64 hp65 i was taking 5 mg of amlodipine besylate. Last week the dose was increased to 10mg per day. A week has pased and that top # doesn t seem to have changed and the bottom # is holding about the same. I was reading that green tea could help me lower the preasure. Are they right and how much would I take per day. Got any other meds that I could take with what I am now using to get down this 150# Thanks
