I'm reaching out because I've been on medication for hypertension for a couple of years now, specifically taking Losartana 50 mg each night before I sleep. During the day, my blood pressure usually stays around 13585. I've heard from several people that apple cider vinegar might help to manage my blood pressure better and maybe even help me reduce my dependency on the medicine. I don't have a family history of hypertension, but right now, I'm at 92 kg, 5'9", and 32 years old. Do you think it would be beneficial for me to try apple cider vinegar for my situation?

Apple cider vinegar may have some benefits in helping to control blood pressure, but it is not a substitute for prescribed medication. It is always important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your treatment plan. In your case, since your blood pressure is still not within the desired range during the day, it would be best to continue taking LOSARTAN-A 50 Mg as prescribed. However, you can also incorporate apple cider vinegar into your diet in moderation for its potential health benefits. It is recommended to dilute it in water and consume it before meals.
