High blood pressure
Hello,
I'm 42 years old. A few days back my doctor told I have high blood pressure and he has prescribed me Tetan-H. From last week I started the medicine, it is now under control. I thought of doing intermittent fasting, so please could you confirm whether I can do intermittent fasting as I heard it lowers the blood pressure. Also please let me know if Tetan-h has side effects if I take it long-term

No long term side effects. You can do intermittent fasting but do not stop medicines

Intermittent fasting is good... But u should not stop the BP medicines... Check ur BP regularly and if requires than Doctor will reduce the dose or stop
