I'm considering switching from Teleact 40 manufactured by Ranbaxy to Telmikind 40 by Mankind because the latter is more affordable. Do you think it's okay to make this change? I'm curious if there's any difference between the two in terms of effectiveness or potential side effects. Could you shed some light on this for me?

I've been dealing with young hypertension since I was 15, and now I'm 18. I had symptoms like constant headaches, and after all the tests from ultrasounds to ECGs everything came out fine. The doctor said it was hereditary since my great-grandfather had it from age 13, my grandfather from 32, and my dad from 40. So, I've been on antihypertensive medication, taking 2 Nicardia 10 and 1 Metolar 25 daily. My blood pressure is always in the normal range, around 12080 or 13080, and I'm doing well otherwise. With my height at 180 cm and weight at 94 kg, I'm wondering if there's any way I could stop or reduce the medicines. How can I maintain long-term health while on medication?
since you have a family history of hypertension and were diagnosed with young hypertension, it is important to continue taking your antihypertensive medications as prescribed by your doctor to help control your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications in the future. To maintain a long and healthy life while on medication, it is important to also focus on lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet low in sodium, engaging in regular physical activity, managing stress, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. If you are considering stopping or reducing your medications, it is crucial to consult with your doctor first. They can assess your current health status, review your blood pressure readings, and determine if any adjustments to your medication regimen are necessary. It's always best to follow your doctor's advice when it comes to managing your hypertension.
