I have mild hypertension and my doctor has put me on tablets which are expected to keep my BP in check. I do know Blood Pressure Tablets or for that matter any allopathic medicine has side effects. These tablets that I am taking were fine as the side effects of one were counteracted by another tablet. This tablet is no longer available. My doctor prescribed me another tablet. The first tablet is supposed to control BP but increase the pulse rate and the other which is not available now is to keep the pulse in check which is one of the side effects. Since that tablet is not available I tried the new one which has several side effects including weakness and muscle pain though it keeps the pulse in check.
I have now taken law in my hands and I am only taking the first tablet but am on homoeopathy to take care of the increase in pulse rate. Hopefully that should take care of me holistically.
Holistic approach is all what is needed to keep our health in trim as no single discipline is going to guarantee perfect health.
I also take some supplements which should tide over the effect those tablets, which I have now discontinued, have left behind.
People are landing on the moon but no one has so far found out medicines that have no side effects. It is difficult to understand why this research is not done.
Since there are no general practitioners who would perhaps follow that route the only option is for individuals themselves to find a way.
The only way therefore, to keep everything in check is to look for different disciplines and use them all together. That could be allopathy, homoeopathy, yoga, meditation, pranic healing, Reiki, right diet, and last but not the least a positive attitude to life. Being spiritual and trust in the Almighty could also go a long way in ensuring good health.

I am so sorry about that worst situation when your doctor did not do his job well.Better find another doctor. Some doctors this time are not anymore doing their job well.If they feel do not like their job, they have to resign. Why was that doctor prescribed you a tablet that increased your heart beat.That doctor is not credible.Better you did not complain. My best suggestion is to find another doctor through a recommendation.I hope you are very fine this time.Take care.
Felt it is true that some doctors nowadays are only working for the money part of it. They are not as dedicated as they should be in seeking with patients and it's really sad. But I wouldn't really blame the doctor for the prescription coz different people react differently to treatment could be it was too strong for her.but all the same he should have found another alternative to it.
Sadly all BP drugs have side effects.
Doctors cannot help because their hands are tied. They can only prescribe what is available but they will not suggest a holistic approach as outlined by me which is what is required.
Hypertension is really difficult to experience. It is also associated with secondary complications if not treated. It would be nice to modify lifestyle. As far as I know, there are side effects when having maintenance of medications.
Most doctors do not resort to a holistic approach and that is when patients should do it for themselves. An Allopath will not recommend homoeopathy and so on.
That is one of the bewilderments of most scientific inventions Especially in the health field. Almost every drug will have its own side effect. Why must this be so?
Why not prouduce drugs that will cure what it was assigned to cure in the body instead of causing other minor, sometimes major unwanted reactions in the body.
The only solution lies with the spiritual. It is only God's blessings that will make rich and add no sorrow to it.
Know that God! He's the one who ultimately keeps you healthy.
Your right about that onyedikachi many are the times when we think that we can do stuff on our own but the truth is it's God who knows everything that goes on about us. So even as we take those medicine a that we are prescribed for, we need to remember that the doctor administers but God does the healing
Staying positive is one way to bring God in one's life.
As I have commented doctors stick to their own discipline and never recommend what they are not professed in. I have mentioned a few things that patients could resort to including trust in God as you have said.
Wow very sorry to read of your predicament even though hypertension is a difficult condition to take care off, you have said it being positive and being prayerful is essential for someone's healing. Am glad that you are taking it well and trying your best to maintain the condition.However I feel that it may be a good idea to seek medical attention from another doctor that could be helpful also. I wish you a long life free of pain and medicine in Jesus name Amen. Keep the positive attitude and all shall be well all the best.
As I have mentioned, doctors can only do so much with drugs available. All drugs have side effects no matter which doctor it will be. They will not suggest anything beyond their profession.
I'm sorry about your experience.
What I have stated is the experience all patients face as most drugs have side effects.
As an ex registered nurse I understand your dilemma. Any other doctor that you would consult would prescribe probably the same treatment or some other medication "with side effects". I used to say to every one of my patients that every person reacts to medication in their own way and thus side effects exists. But at least you have a very positive attitude towards your condition and you consulted other therapists. That is great....
Nice to meet a nurse here. Doctors will not get out of their box. I did have a general practitioner who is no more who was into other therapies besides allopathy. But I have not given up. Let me see how to get a plan for me.
Thanks for visiting.
