i am aged 62 and  have blood pressure 100-160. the doctor prescribed to take olmighty 20 every day morning after breakfast. My question is - if it is possible to  control the pressure whether i take any exercise or  change my food habit instead of taking the olmighty medicine?
Hello, thank you for writing in to Chat Doctor. Since you are 62 years old, the hypertension is essential hypertension due to advancing age. Hence, only exercises and diet control will not help you attain the normal Blood pressure levels. You need to take the medication Losartan Medoxomil 20 mg (Almighty) as this will protect your heart and blood vessels from the ill effects of hypertension.Also, along with medications, a low salt diet, exercise like brisk walking daily, eating a healthy non-fatty diet consisting of good amounts of fruits and vegetables will help you control your BP well.
