However, please do not reduce your dose or stop your medication without consulting your doctor. High blood pressure is usually a long-term condition, and stopping treatment can cause your pressure to rise again. Since you are young, positive lifestyle changes?like a low-sodium diet and regular exercise?might allow your doctor to safely lower your dose in the future. Please consult your physician before making any changes.

I have very high blood pressure, and my doctor prescribed Olmy H 40 and Amlogard, but I also have joint pain and a slipped disc and find it difficult to continue these medicines. What should I do, and is there any safer alternative?

High blood pressure needs regular treatment to prevent serious complications. Joint pain or a slipped disc usually does not require stopping blood pressure medicines on your own. Continue taking the medicines as advised and try gentle activity and proper posture for back care. Consult your doctor to review the treatment and discuss if any adjustments or alternative medicine are suitable for you.

Since my blood pressure has lowered from around 140-150/90-100 to a steady 110-115/80-85 after taking Amlogard 5 mg and Olmesar 10 mg for the last month and a half, should I lower my dose or stop taking one of these blood pressure medications?

This shows that your combination of Amlogard (amlodipine) and Olmesar (olmesartan) is working perfectly. Please do not stop or lower your doses on your own. Your blood pressure is controlled precisely because these medications are doing their job. If you alter your dose, your blood pressure will likely rise back to its previous high levels. Please discuss this excellent progress with your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan.
