Arjuna is safe. However the cause of tour high bp needs to be assessed and addressed which can be done through HAIP Root cause analysis basednon your multi parameter blood reports.  The medications you are taking are just symptomatic and not addressing the root cause. To begin with follow HAIP DIET and get HAIP Root Cause Analysis.

In your case better to take Saraswatarista 20 mL twice daily with equal quantity of water . Arjuna can be continued as it is good for heart functioning. Reduce salt intake.

You can't take arjuna for longer time Consultyour doctor cause of high bp.start proper medicine

Taking Arjuna for heart health is fine, but Arjuna alone is not a proper treatment for BP. Need to consult a Ayurveda physician

Got ur pain n concerns . Arjuna is good for heart no doubt about the same but why is BP there are so many causes accordingly need to follow n detox Rasayan vajikaran at your age is recommended. It's true due to vata vitiation stomach upset Dyspnea palpitations occur where sequential approach is answer so kindly consult in personal visit

Only arjuna will not help .. Take proper counselling to clear ur doubt

No you shouldnt take Arjuna for too longer time not more than 6 months. Bcz its a blood thinner and it may cause side effects such as gastritis and liver toxicity. And yes you can start taking HT kot after few weeks. You can even take sarpagandha churna-2gms daily rather than Arjuna. For 7 days.

Consult ayurveda physician for proper diagnosis and root cause of ailment before consuming any medicine
