Suggest Treatment For High Blood Pressure
I am 42 years old and my BP was 112/177 and I visited the doctor 30 days back. He examined my ECG and found no fault in it. Then, he suggested me to talk Nebicard SM tablet one per day in the night and revisit after 15 days. I did the same, in my second visit Doctor said your bp is 84/140 and continue the same tablet. Is it right? Can I continue to take the same tablets? ANy side effects?

Hello,
Your doctor has prescribed the right medication for you. You can compare the result of your BP before 2 weeks and after 2 weeks.
Generally, it may take 2 weeks to know the benefits of BP medications in blood pressure readings.
Therefore, I suggest you wait for one more week and do modify your diet (avoid salty foods, high cholesterol foods, preserve foods, junk foods) and lifestyle (walk every day at least 30 mins).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
