Suggest Way To Control BP Naturally
Hello, I am on Ramipril for about 1,5 weeks, my BP was about 165-180/95-98 during some time, my weight is about 69 kg and height 1,63. I exercise regularly and try a healthy diet. If I continue healthy eating and exercising, is it an opportunity to come off ramipril, as I am 43 y.o and feel that I am able to find another way to keep my BP under normal level. If yes, how should I take off the medicine ( I , of course, will consult my GP). I would just want to listen as many opinions as possible. Thank you.

Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that BP more than 140/90 needs to be corrected. Healthy diet and routine exercise is a very good addition along with medication to control your BP. Carry on with both as of now, if in future your BP gets normalize with your lifestyle modifications and medication then you can taper off Ramiprill taking your GP's advise into consideration.
Kind Regards
