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.

Dear lybrate-user.
It's good to share your concern about your health. Hypertension is known to be silent killer and is No 1 cause of mortality causing heart attack worldwide. Taking medication is good but you should use lifestyle medicine to combat and reverse it. Medication does control in numbers but impacts on side effects.
Have a proper lifestyle management.
