My mother, aged 56, is experiencing issues with her blood pressure. In the morning, it was recorded at 170/100. Throughout the afternoon and evening, it stabilized at 140/85, and before bedtime, it is at 128/82. (We recently acquired a blood pressure monitor machine.) These readings have remained consistent over the past three days.
Now, the question arises:
which form of medication—allopathic or homeopathic—is more suitable for her condition?
Additionally, If allopathic then which option is better for consultation, a cardiologist or a general physician in this situation?
You don't need a cardiologist. You don't need a naturopath. I'd treat this fully with medication. She's had time to realize that her bp is high since she's got a monitor and lifestyle things aren't really doing much. Natural medicine is untested and unclear what will help. I'm FOR natural remedies by the way but the BEST thing I ever did was start BP medication. I probably put years on my life. Remember that high blood pressure affects the kidneys and lungs as well. You do damage with untreated bp over time.
I have had zero downside from medication. At her age and with those numbers, I wouldn't wait.
And furthermore, many have genetic components to their hypertension that make lifestyle and homeopathic remedies ineffective.
I take 25 mg of losartin. I had about a week of adjusting to it at most where I thought I might be a little dizzy but not that I really could say for sure and some chest tightness. That's it. Now my bp is controlled so I can work on other things. I still work on lifestyle things and use supplements (that won't interact with my medication) but feel confident that my bp isn't silently causing damage.
