Hi,

The hypertension issue needs some time to settle the BP levels when particularly changed the medications.

My guidelines at present for faster recovery
- Drink more liquids to maintain hydration.
- Prefer a salt-restricted diet.
- Regular walking, exercises, yoga help great.
- Avoid smoking or alcohol if consuming.
- Sound sleep of 7 hours is a must.
- Avoid stress and anxiety.
- Continue current medication dosages.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel,
General Surgeon
