Will Stop Taking The Blood Pressure Medicines Be Harmful When BP Is Consistently 113/75?
my blood pressure off Losartan is consistently 113/75 do you think it will be harmful to stop taking... i have increased exercise and have been taking the drug for 3 yrs. i started because I was spiking to 153/84 when i would go in to the doctor office
Hello LOsartan is an ANGIOTENSIN II ANTAGONISTS and its first dose may cause hypotension . Now your blood pressure is well maintained (113 /75 mm of Hg ) and observe this for 5-10 days and if your blood pressure remained around this reading ( 120 /80 mm of Hg ) , you can stop losartan at once . Exercises regularly and eat healthy ( salt 7 fat free diet). Good luck.
