BLOOD PRESSURE, ELEVATED (HYPERTENSION): THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE MEDICATION
As I’ve mentioned, the major problem with high blood pressure is that most of the time you won’t have any symptoms. Unfortunately, once you start taking medication to treat your condition, you may experience adverse reactions such as headaches and dizziness, until your doctor finds the medication right for you. At this point, many people stop taking the medication before it even has a chance to work. Or else, you may want to start taking other medications to treat your side effects, which in turn can cause more side effects. Before you know it, you can spend a significant part of your day opening bottles and swallowing pills. That’s why when I first start a person on blood pressure medication, I strongly recommend that in the beginning she visit me in my office at least once a week so I can assess the effectiveness of the medication and her adverse reactions, if any. It’s important for you, as a patient, to feel like an integral part of the medical treatment team with whom you are working.
