I stopped smoking 2 weeks ago and my hypertension has dropped dramatically from 150/95 to 110/75.  (Im 60 years old.)  I have been taking a cocktail of anti-hypertensive drugs for the past 5 years.  Im now experiencing symptoms of postural hypotension. Do you think the drug regime should be reviewed since the probable cause of the hypertension (smoking) is now absent?
Hi thanks for asking question. You might have hypertension mostly because of smoking. Now you have left smoking and your BP is ideal by 110/75. So here no need of taking antihypertensive Chat Doctor. You have to regularly measure your blood pressure ... You can take electrical BP instrument at home. So continue with good habit of avoid smoking and taking regular diet with more green leafy vegetables. If you feel dizziness and if your blood pressure very low, salty substance can take immediately. Take care...
