Dr. Jerome Zacks answered

Specializes in Cardiology

Multiple factors.: Assuming you refer to vasoactive antihypertensive medications, the decision concerning therapy is determined by the presence or absence of heart failure, ones electrocardiogram, and ones blood pressure, ideally taken both sitting and standing. The decision requires a careful medical exam.
