Hi, you can stop olmesar and monitor bp for 6 weeks. If does not rise then continue without bp medicines. I think you donot need bp medicines if doing regular walking. But please monitor your bp for at least 6 weeks after stopping medicines.

Yes it is safe to use these medicines in diabetic. But what is reason for swelling. If not investigated then get her tests done. With these medicines and in elderly keep checking her electrolytes periodically.

The reason that your father is having these medications is that he has some cardiac condition. Well there can be side effects to any medication, but be assured that if he discontinues these medications without consulting a doctor he, it might pose a serious health risk.

Hello, Thanks for the query. BP 160/80 mm Hg is high, ideally it should be around 120 to 130/ 70 to 80 mm Hg. You may have to increase the dose of Olmesartan to 40 mg a day. With HbA1c% 6% diabetes seems to be well controlled. Thanks

Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. I learn that you have Hypothyroidism and hypertension. But there is absolutely no mention of necessary details like T4, T3 & TSH levels, BP readings, dosage of Levothyroxine being taken and also dosage of other drugs taken. Without any of these details, it is difficult to give any opinion. In pregnancy first choice drug for hypertension is Methyledopa, then Labetolo and Nifedipine. Olmesartan is contraindicated. Plus if you want to conceive, then TSH should be maintained < 2.5 mU/L. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
