Should my mother continue taking her blood pressure medication, Amodep AT, if her blood pressure has stayed at a normal level (around 110/75) even when she skips the medicine after recovering from COVID-19?
However, please advise her not to stop or skip her Amodep AT (amlodipine/atenolol) without consulting her doctor. Blood pressure medications often keep levels stable even if a dose is missed, but stopping suddenly can cause a dangerous rebound spike in blood pressure or heart rate, especially after recovering from COVID-19. Her normal readings show the medicine is working well. A doctor can safely assess if her dose needs adjustment.
