Blood Pressure issue
Hi I am 26 year old. Since last year I was very active in every affairs like business, physical activity etc. but on feb 2018 I got a panic attack in which my blood pressure raised to 140/90. At that time I was so worried how my blood pressure gone too high as I don't know that was a normal range. Later I was keep thinking about my blood pressure everyday n slowly I got so worried n anxious whenever doc used to check blood pressure it's always in the range of 140-160/70-95. I am on Supermet XL 25 mg. I have an Omron BP apparatus at home. If I check my BP at home my Blood pressure Average used to be 115/75 sometimes even less than this very few times it touches above 128/85. So my question is can I stop BP medicine ?

Ideally, you should not stop medicines. You can start exercising and Yoga or other relaxation exercises and make dietary changes and then after advise from the prescribing physician you may decrease the dose first and then gradually stop- on if your BP is under control and your doctor feels the same.
