Question

My dad's been dealing with high blood pressure for about five years now, and he's been taking CILACAR 5 MG every day. For the last couple of days, his BP has been at 10050. Should he keep taking his medication or do we need to make any changes because of this?

A blood pressure reading of 10050 is considered low and may be a cause for concern, especially if your father is experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting. In this situation, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to medication. However, if your father is not experiencing any symptoms, he can skip the dose of CILACAR - 5 MG for that day. It is important to monitor his blood pressure regularly and consult with his doctor for further guidance.
