<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi Dr GopiI am on Avapro to control hypertension but it is not effective on its own and my doctor has given me norvasc to take as well. However, I am frightened to take it because I feel that if I want to stop one day it will give me dangerous rebound effect. All the drugs seem to have one kind of side effect or another and although I already have a fairly healthy lifestyle, dont drink alcohol or smoke and not over weight, I would like to use natural methods to eventually control it. I am 64 and weigh 54 kilos  <response>: Hai, i appreciate your concern sir, i will advise you to control the high blood pressure in natural way. Limit the amount of sodium salt you take daily.
