Last week, I had a very small stroke...blood pressure went up as I was frightened at the numbness on my right side. 2 days in hospital , mri showed a small spot. immediately handed meds for cholesterol and High blood pressure and baby aspirin. my BP has always been spot on and today and range in the 120 s. I am hesitant to take the High BP meds. CHolesteral is pretty good too. I am frightened to take it and risk going to low and pass out. Help
Hello Welcome to Ask a Doctor service I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. If you are already on antihypertensive medicine then you need to continue it, if you are having some doubt then you can discuss this with your physician but do not stop the medication, again if you are in hospital or prescribed the medicine after the stroke then it is advisable to keep continue to prescribe Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance.
