I'm 40 with a normal weight and active life style. Recently I have my bp raised to 150/100. I hve been given telvas 40. I'm taking it for the last 4 months. Is there any way of getting rid of the tablet? Or have I to use for lifelong?

Your levels are such that with lifestyle modification along with alternative medication it may be possible to gradually reduce the dose of medication. However it is mandatory to regularly monitor blood pressure while undergoing this process. For suggestions as well as medication consult online in private.

check BP every month after resting for 10 minutes. You may be able to reduce and then stop medicine gradually with CORRECT lifestyle. but continue monthly BP check even after stopping medicine . Do not assume you know what correct lifestyle means . Poor health in everybody you know is almost invariably due to INCORRECT lifestyle. So, try to find the correct way to eat.
