Hi, I am 32 year old, male, weighing 80 kg, with blood pressure reading of 144/96, and the doctor prescribed Amlong 2.5 mg. Do i need to continue this medication throughout lifetime, or can i stop it once the BP comes down and control my BP through exersize and diet control?
HELLO AND WELCOME.  FIRSTLY, U NEED TO HAVE DIAGNOSIS WHETHER U HAVE HYPERTENSION OR NOT, JUST ONE ELEVATED READING DOESN'T DIAGNOSE HAN.DO A 24-HOUR AMBULATORY BP MONITOR TESTER TAKE READING THRICE A DAY FOR A WEEK.EXERCISE, DIET CONTROL, BANANAS, GARLIC HAVE SHOWN SOME BENEFIT SO U SHOULD CONTINUE LIFESTYLE CHANGES.SO I WOULD RECOMMEND A SURE DIAGNOSIS BEFORE MEDS.PLUS ALONG 2.5 IS ALSO USED FOR MIGRAINE PROPHYLAXIS AS ITS LOW DOSE CCB.
