You need your providers to team up and do a complete medication review. Something changed with his medication between Feb. and now and it sounds like there may be an interaction or other problem with the ayurvedic medicines. Please go to your ayurvedic practioner and take this problem to him as he is the only one that can adjust the meds given prior to the lowered diastolic number. Start a log and keep a running log of treatments and blood pressures if you really want to see what affects your son's blood pressure. Take care.
