Well it was prescribed by my doctor and I checked this evening
I got a result of 115/69

I usually take it before going to bed everyday.
After getting that result today I sent it to my doctor and he told me not to take it today until tomorrow.

The name of the drug is Cardiotan
It's quite expensive

I just started a restaurant barely two weeks ago.I came on Monday morning 5_30am to start cooking as usual , only to notice an empty shop. All my chairs ,tables, coolers, 15kg gas cylinder ,table gas, etc gone. Like literally an empty shop.my blood pressure went up in flames. I'm just surviving by God's grace. If I hadn't checked my bp, I would av been dead by now. Dis happened over the weekend. Its good to always check.

If you are having any issues with your blood pressure most especially if it's too high or low,the systolic or diastolic and you want to regulate it permanently or you know someone with hypertension, contact me for treatment with herbs 🌿

It's sad to see we will live with these drugs till death. How often do you take this combination. The doc said I should start with amlodopine and if it stops working I can combine. For now amlodopine alone works. I did reduce salt intake and my family to don't like salt. I got BP from excess consumption of alcohol. Somehow, my lifestyle have changed due to buhari induced hardship and I have lost some weight though, I still take some alcohol due to addiction. I don't know if more loss of weight will cure me palmanently. At least my stomach is now flat, all thanks to Buhari
Weight loss would definitely help. Also try to do so light cadio and up it gradually. I use my medication once daily. Most hypertension patients inherit the trait from one or both of their parents.

I was advised to take it every day but I usually miss it some times. I don't like medication... Hoping for a permanent cure

Try to take it everyday even if it means setting your alarm for it.
If you hear about anyone that slept at night and didn't wakeup in the morning, my brother na high blood pressure most likely kill am oh. It destroys other organs in the body if not controlled most esp the kidneys.

Well get a blood pressure machine at home so you can be monitoring it yourself. Take readings in the morning and evening. Record it. So that you don't take the bp drugs too much and start suffering from hypotension....low blood pressure

I read about it and it's very scary. I just have to find way to clean my nerves. Imagine taking tablets everyday. Life no just balance, I will try anyways

Please type "amlodipine reviews" on Google and you will see people who have been using the drug for up to 20 years or more.

This is to let you know that it is scary but a lot of people have been taking BP drugs for years! Therefore, you are not alone, bro.

Besides, you are better than people who don't even know that their blood pressure is high.

Good luck, bro.

I have never checked my blood pressure since I was born. My Life is Good and great.

Nothing gives me high BP.

Awwwwn kiss FTC. I dedicate this to all wealthy and rich men that don’t run away from a restaurant because of ordinary 12k food a lady ordered. May your pocket never run dry.

Broke men can go and receive their prayers from the Last to comment (LTC). Shame!!
So you have not gone to hospital or clinic for any health issue like Malaria, Typhoid fever etc?
