Suggest Remedies For Low BP
i had been taking meds for HPB but in the last few weeks, my BP has been running much lower than normal, in the range of 100/56. I stopped taking my meds for HBP and it has remained low. Should I contact my doctor or is it ok to wait until my next appt. next month?

Hi welcome to HCM.
Overtreatment of high blood pressure can lead to falling of blood pressure levels below the normal levels.Its advisable to maintain your blood pressure just under 130/80 mm of Hg.Start with low doses of antihypertensive drugs and then gradually up the dose based on the requirement.Monitor your blood pressure twice weekly.Baseline ecg and echo will help to rule out any organic heart disease.Consult your cardiologist for further help.
Thank you.
