Hi, I am 51 year old active woman, working in a psu as sr engineer. I am on metolar xr 25 bd twice daily. I keep monitoring my bp once in 3- 4 days or as n when I feel a severe pain at centre of my forehead. I take amlopres. 2.5 in addition if bp is 130/85 or higher. But my doctor friend says it is anxiety which increases my bp and gives. me alprax is it ok to take this twice or thrice a week?

Rather than starting alprex you should first get yourself evaluated by a psychiatrist to confirm whether high bp is actually due to anxiety. Once that is identified or confirmed there are non pharmacological methods by which anxiety can be treated, if that doesn't work then you should go for medication which treats anxiety rather than going for tablet like alprex which will help you only in short term, it will not remove anxeity for long term and later on you will need more doses of alprex or may dependent on that. So better to approach systematically and get root cause treated. All the best.
