Should I Start Taking Blood Pressure Medication Again?
I am a 58 year male, 9 months ago I had my left adrenal gland removed due to a tumour . I have been taking blood pressure medication for the last 10 years, after my operation for 4 months no medication was required as my BP was averaging 130/80. It has increased and it was necessary to take medication again, it is now averaging 142/80 , is this normal.
