The simple answer to this question is yes. I assume you are
taking a medication like hydrochlorothiazide or possibly chlorithalidone.
Depending on your other health conditions there are options for high blood
pressure, according to the American Heart Association most people with high
blood pressure need 2 -3 types of medications to control it. We have a lot of
combination pills for this reason. If you have a health condition like diabetes
or even heart failure there are certain choices that actually give you added
benefits above and beyond high blood pressure control. I suggest discussing
options with your prescriber. Without more specific information about your
health and even your lab results there is a long list of possibilities which
may not be the best choice for you. Most people do not want to take any pills
and this is natural, but I encourage you to use medications to protect your
blood vessels from high blood pressure, cholesterol and even blood sugar when
needed. Use the medications until you make other changes which you hope will
lower your blood pressure and as you do things like lose weight, be sure to
then revisit the dose and number of medications you are on. Best wishes, I hope
this helps you work with your prescriber.
