Blood pressure meds and side effects

It seems like a "start over" of prescribing new prescriptions for our high BP would seem wise but taking away a med all at once after taking it for a while is not what I hear is smart . So how do we know what we're taking over a time, especially if our BP is going higher, isn't making BP worse because it's causing bad health in other parts of our body. I'm just tired of wondering what I should do or if my doctor is doing what's best for me.

Hi @robal19. I am just reading this comment you made a couple months ago. I am putting a link below to a later comment where you can find an article about medication management. To your point, all the variables change making it impossible for us know how to manage ourselves. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/1370014/

Have you talked to your pharmacist? Have you thought of an appointment with a clinic pharmacist to discuss exactly this?
