Question

I'm dealing with high blood pressure around 155105 and have been taking inzit 4 mg once daily as advised by my doctor for the past 10 days, but Im not seeing any improvement. Both of my parents have high BP too, and I work in a software job which means I sit a lot. Does this mean Ill have to be on medication forever, or are there lifestyle changes I can try that might help lower my BP without relying on meds?

Despite taking Inzit 4mg for 10 days, your BP remains high; consider lifestyle modifications to complement medication: regular aerobic exercise (30 minutesday), stress reduction techniques (meditation, yoga), weight management, dietary changes (low sodium, high potassium, DASH diet), increased water intake, and adequate sleep (7-8 hoursnight); also, discuss with your doctor potential adjustments to your medication regimen, such as dosage or additional medications, to achieve better BP control; with consistent lifestyle efforts and medication adherence, it's possible to reduce BP and potentially decrease medication dependence over time.
