I'm a bit concerned because I've been managing my blood pressure and diabetes for a while. I used to take lobet 100mg and alphadopa 500mg twice a day for a month, but I stopped the BP meds two months ago because I was feeling dizzy and had blurred vision. My BP readings were fine after that, but lately, I've been getting mild headaches, and today my BP was 160100. I've been advised to see a doctor. I'm worried about whether starting BP medication again after the consultation might cause any issues. Could you please give me some guidance on this?

It is important to manage your blood pressure to prevent complications. Since you have a history of experiencing giddiness and blurred vision with your previous medication, it is crucial to consult your doctor before starting any new medication. Your doctor may prescribe a different class of antihypertensive medication such as Amlodipine 5mg once daily or Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure without causing the same side effects. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your doctor are essential to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the new medication.
