Danger from blood pressure lowering drugs? Of course, you should first lower your high blood pressure without medication. But some people can't or don't want to and then take blood pressure lowering drugs for life. And of course these blood pressure lowering drugs such as beta blockers, diuretics, ACE inhibitors & Co are not without side effects and risks.

The risk of side effects increases if those affected take other medications with other active ingredients over time or have to increase the dose. Before we get into that, though, a brief explanation of the importance of these medications. Because it is definitely negligent and possibly even life-threatening to simply stop taking medication on your own and/or change the dosage, regardless of whether it is up or down. And even worse are many videos on YouTube, TikTok & Co that talk about side effects and dangers without any knowledge or medical knowledge and say in general that you should not take blood pressure medication. Of course, every high blood pressure patient should first try to get their blood pressure under control without medication. And I never tire of emphasizing and repeating this: balanced diet, keyword Mediterranean diet, exercise, less alcohol, less stress, etc. Tips for taking blood pressure medication Tip 1: Make the most of therapies without medication in order to get by with as few blood pressure medications as possible. Experts recommend at least 30-45 minutes of exercise at least 3-4 times a week and, regardless of that, 30 minutes of exercise per day. In addition, weight loss, especially belly fat, a low-salt diet and a so-called blood pressure-friendly diet. And very importantly: avoid alcohol and smoking. Tip 2: If you do drink alcohol, do not take the blood pressure medication together with alcohol, but rather several hours apart. The main thing here is to avoid acute problems. Tip 3: Do not take the medication according to a fixed schedule, but adapt it to your own rhythm of life, for example in the morning as soon as possible after waking up and in the evening just before going to sleep. Tip 4: If you have nocturnal high blood pressure, you should take the medication in the evening.
