Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 37 years old and have slightly elevated blood pressure, with diastolic readings ranging from 85 to 95 mmHg and systolic readings ranging from 125 to 135 mmHg. I am currently taking one Cilnidipine 10 mg tablet per day. I am considering switching to Ayurvedic medicine, such as Divya mukta vati.
Can you please advise if this switch is possible? What might the possible doses be? Should I consult an allopathic doctor or an Ayurvedic practitioner?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
There are several medicines available in Ayurveda to manage blood pressure. However, it is necessary to understand its root cause. High blood pressure could be due to stress, anxiety, sleeplessness, an abnormal lipid profile, liver problems, smoking, drinking, genetic factors, or other unknown causes. Identifying the root cause can make it easier to manage.
You can take Ayurvedic medicines alongside allopathic medicines, with a half-hour gap between them, for one month. After one month, gradually reduce the dose of allopathic medicines and eventually stop them. During this period, you should regularly monitor your blood pressure levels. I suggest you practice pranayama regularly, such as anuloma viloma, nadi sadhana, and bhramari. Meditation is also helpful in such conditions.
I suggest you take the following medicines:
Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicines with take the medicines with their consent.
I hope this helps you.
