A patient who previously was suffering from hypertension was given tablets to prevent his blood pressure from going up, but lately his bp has gone low, 106/62. His diastolic ranges from 70-62 most of the time lately. Should he continue to take his hypertension tablets? Isn t it dangerous to take hypertension tablet when his diastolic is already low?

Your blood pressure is low due to the drugs. Go back to the doctor and they might reduce the dose or give you a lower mi. dose.

This is a perfect blood pressure and your doctor is probably very happy you have achieved this level. If you go off your medications, you will have to start all over getting your hypertension under control. Unless your blood pressure is UNDER 100 systolic, and if you are having no symptoms, there is nothing you should change. Only if you are starting to have some symptoms do you need to talk with your doctor about your dose.
