Rajendra garu, I’ll be very direct do not stop Telmisartan suddenly just because you started Ayurvedic medicines. BP 140/90 is still in the hypertensive range, and stopping abruptly can increase risk of stroke or heart strain. However, you can gradually reduce allopathy only under monitoring if BP stays controlled. Safe approach for you Check BP daily for 2–3 weeks If BP consistently comes below 130/80, then consult a doctor and taper dose (not stop suddenly) Arjuna (Heart support) Arjuna Ghanavati 2 tablets twice daily after food Mind + BP calming Brahmi Vati 1 tablet morning after breakfast Jatamansi Ghanavati 1–2 tablets at night Add (important for BP control) Sarpagandha (if BP remains high) 250 mg at night only Continue Anulom Vilom Bhramari Chandra Bhedana 1 hour yoga Diet advice Reduce salt, pickle, fried food Take garlic (1–2 cloves daily) Include ash gourd juice / bottle gourd juice (morning) Avoid stress + late nights
Hello, It is commendable that you are dedicated to a healthy lifestyle through yoga and pranayama, which are vital for managing blood pressure. However, managing hypertension requires a careful balance between traditional and modern medicine. You should not stop taking Telmisartan 40 mg abruptly. Hypertension is often called a “silent killer” because damage can occur even if you feel fine. Telmisartan belongs to a class of drugs that provide stable, 24-hour protection against strokes and heart attacks. Stopping it suddenly can lead to “rebound hypertension,” where blood pressure spikes to dangerous levels. If you wish to transition to an Ayurvedic protocol, you must do so under the supervision. We will typically monitor your readings and slowly taper the dosage rather than stopping it all at once. In Ayurveda, hypertension is often viewed as an imbalance of Vata and Pitta affecting the Rakta Dhatu (blood). Arjuna acts as a Hridaya (cardiac tonic) to strengthen the heart muscle. Brahmi and Jatamansi address the Manas (mind) element, reducing stress-induced pressure. Start medicines according to this… 1. Abhyadi Kwath 20 ml with an equal quantity of water, twice daily after meals. This is a fermented preparation that improves cardiac efficiency. 2. Liposem Tablets 2 tablets twice daily after food. While often used for cholesterol, it helps maintain vascular integrity and healthy circulation. 3. Parthadhyarishta 20 ml with an equal quantity of water, twice daily after meals. This is a fermented preparation that improves cardiac efficiency. Keep a log of your blood pressure at the same time every morning and evening. Ensure you are on a strict low-sodium diet (Dashmoolarishta can also be helpful if there is associated swelling).
Rajendraji, it is encouraging to see that your yoga practice and Ayurvedic supplements have already started showing a positive trend in your BP. While Ayurveda can manage hypertension effectively, please do not stop Telmisartan immediately. We will aim to stabilize your blood pressure consistently below 130/80 mmHg. Once stabilized for 4-6 weeks, then you can discuss a supervised, gradual reduction of the allopathic dose with your cardiologist. Please start monitoring your BP weekly instead of monthly to track our progress more accurately 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 Continue the current Arjuna ghanvati and Brahmi Vati as they are already providing a slide decrease in BP. 👇👇👇👇👇👇take 1) parthadyarishtam kashayam- 15 ml with 45 ml lukewarm water twice daily before food 2) sarpagandha vati- 1 tablet twice daily after food 3) ksheerabala 101 capsule- 1 capsule at bed time with warm milk 4) manasamitra vatakam- 1 tablet at bedtime Please closely monitor your BP after using these medicine
What is your current BP reading? If it’s within normal limit. you can slowly withdraw telmisartan.
Hi Don’t stop the medicine at once What you can do is continue your ayurvedic medicines but for allopathy you have stop reducing dose Stop after that when you feel your bp is normal
Hello It is not recommended abruptly to stop telmisartan instead it has to be gradually decreased based on continuous monitoring of your blood pressure and with support of ayurvedic medications.
