Ok: However, read your BP pill brochure for specifics or call your pharmacist who can check exact medicine for you and see if any concerns arise.

You should be fine: One dose of a blood pressure medication is not likely to cause a problem, even if you don't have high blood pressure. However, if you are taking other medications it would be a good idea to call your physician to make sure that the blood pressure medication does not interact with your other medications.

Seven Fowers Extract: A chinese formula called seven flowers extract can be use to lower high blood pressure. Consult with your doc so that you are safe and being followed and so that you don't overmedicate by taking prescribed meds and otc meds. Meditation, qigong, and other stress management strategies are also helpful.

Doctor’s appointment: Please set up an appointment to see your doctor so that they can evaluate your blood pressure and provide any medications if necessary. It would help your doctor if your bring them a log of your blood pressure readings to the appointment.

Different meds: After a trial of lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) there are many classes of anti hypertensives to use. Often first line is a diuretic which has proven to be very successful in preventing mortality and morbidity from htn. But beta blockers, ace inhibitors, calcium channel blockers and others are used with great results.
