If you have high blood pressure, you may be aware of the fact that high blood pressure medications are known to create negative side effects. Even reputed medical organizations admit that blood pressure prescription drugs cause numerous unhealthy side effects.
Some Prominent Negative Side Effects
Blood pressure medication tablets can cause headache, depression, dizziness, sexual problems, memory loss, heart palpitations, etc. Moreover, such medications give the patients a false sense of security regarding their blood pressure.
The Real Truth behind the Façade
Blood pressure and hypertension medications cannot guarantee a cure, and even serious conditions like stroke, kidney failure and heart attacks cannot be prevented by consuming them. More than 50% of all high BP patients die due to medical conditions brought about by seemingly harmless side effects.
And it may be noted that the mortality rate is higher among patients who are taking regular allopathic medications. Doctors even advise patients to continue taking tablets for the rest of their lives! The general public thus remains content and happy under this false sense of security, while eventually succumbing to the same disease they are trying to get rid of, which is really appalling.
The Underlying Root Cause
The actual reason behind the failure of such prescription drugs is that they are unable to work upon the root cause for high blood pressure- tension and a bad diet. The modern standard of living is high and also stressful, and a normal individual has no time to think about his eating habits or diet. Some people also complain about loss of sleep due to tension.
This undue build up of stress is the main cause for hypertension. Such people just need some breathing space from their normal worries. They have to devote some time from their daily routine towards relaxing activities that calm their mind as well as body. This focused break can yield amazing health results.
So, for all you people out there with hypertension- I hope you have read this blog post and made the most of it!

Did you know that there is a simple chiropractic adjustment that lowers blood pressure? It is the atlas at the base of the skull. Check out NUCCA on the web.
I agree with you,taking some of those prescription drugs is like taking a loaded gun and pointing at yourself ,and saying good luck.Many of the drugs side effects are down right scary! Case in point,I just recently refused to take a
prescription drug due to its many harmful side effects.I told my doctor I`ll change my lifestyle instead - my diet,my daily exercise,and better sleeping habits. By the
way,the prescription drug in question was “APO-RAMIPRIL
5MG.” This was to help with my high blood pressure - hypertension. End of story…

Dear Bernardine,
Do not stop your medication cold turkey, it can make the BP rapidly rise to higher than recorded when you first began BP medications.
Find something to replace it first and take both of themside by side. If you can purchase a BP testing kit, use it to monitor your readings daily. Only when you have been on a regularly reading of clear to normal levels, slowly wean your self from the medication.
The medication you are on at the moment, is it like a sweet with a hard coating? or is it like a powdery tablet? If it is a hard coating, you have to go back to the doctor and have the strength lowered, you can not cut hard coated medications as the hard coating is to protect certain parts of the internal organs as it travels through the digestive tract. If it is the powdery type, carefully cut the tablet into quarters, if you normally take 1 tablet per day, take 3/4 of a tablet per day. Keep a check on you BP over the next 4 weeks.
If all is well, start on a 1/2 tablet for the next 4 weeks, if there is any sign of BP rising, go back to the former dose that you took the previous 4 weeks.
Again if all goes well and you BP reading is holding steady, try to take a 1/4 tablet every day for 4 weeks.
If all is still going well, take a 1/4 tablet every 36 hours for two weeks. Hopefully by the time all this is done, your bodies dependancy on them should be a lot less and you should be able to get off them altogether.
It takes time to wean yourself off these and many other medications, It took me 6 months to wean my husband off Zoloft because it was screwing with his head big time. It was done very slowly and he had no withdrawal side effects.
Do not stop any Px medications instantly, it can do more harm than good.
Prepare to spends weeks or months to wean your self off very gradually.
I have been taking blood pressure medicine for 2 months,but I only take half of what the doctor prescribed and it keeps my blood pressure at about 140/80 and pulse 49-62. I do not have any side effects from taking 25 Mg of Beta-blocker and 25 Mg of watr pill. Since my blood pressure has gone down my sex life has been better than it has been for several years and I’m 67 years old yesterday. I have changed my diet to more vegestables more fish and salmon, much less salt. I take extra supplements of Calcium,Magneism, garlic. I also exercise more and hope to get off medication someday but when I cut back on the drugs my blood pressure starts going up and it gets scary when it reaches 165/100 with a pulse of 85 bpm.
