My mom's blood pressure is reading 10090, and the doctor told her to take Losar 50. Should she take it in the morning or at night? A couple of months ago, she was on Amlodipine 5, but she'd stop when her blood pressure looked normal. Is that okay, or should she stick with the medication even if she feels better?
