Detailed Answer:
Hi...
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

KETO is good for patients with the high blood pressure but simultaneously it may be problematic for those on blood pressure medications (especially diuretics, Lisinopril, and Atenolol).
There can be sudden drops in blood pressure.

Though the changes in blood pressure due to KETO are very positive and healthy, the effect of these medications is intensified thus causing extreme and life-threatening hypotension.

The dosage needs to be carefully monitored and titrated by your clinician in the first few months.

Hope that I have answered your query.
If you have any doubts, please let me know.
Regards
