It seems like you're managing high blood pressure with both conventional medications (Metoprolol and Amlodipine) and Ayurvedic remedies (Patanjali Divya Muktavati). While these treatments can help control blood pressure, the fact that your BP is still above 130 mmHg, coupled with regular dizziness and headaches, suggests that your current regimen might not be fully effective in your case. Several factors could be influencing this, including potential interactions between the prescribed medications and the Ayurvedic supplement, the dosage, or the underlying cause of your high blood pressure.
In Ayurveda, high blood pressure is often linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, and treatments typically focus on calming this dosha through lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and herbal supplements like garlic, turmeric, and Brahmi. However, it's important to understand that remedies like Divya Muktavati are not universally effective for everyone, and individual results can vary. You might also want to consider consulting with an Ayurvedic doctor who can tailor a treatment plan specifically for your body type and health condition.
Additionally, dizziness and headaches could indicate that your blood pressure is still not being adequately managed. It's crucial to discuss your symptoms with your healthcare provider, as these could be signs of potential side effects from medications or the need for adjustments in your treatment plan. Monitoring your blood pressure regularly, reducing stress, maintaining a balanced diet low in sodium, and exercising regularly could also support your efforts in managing high blood pressure.
If your BP continues to stay high despite treatment, it might be worthwhile to reassess your approach with your doctor, potentially adding more comprehensive lifestyle interventions or seeking a second opinion.

For high blood pressure:
Lifestyle: Reduce salt intake, avoid processed foods, and practice regular yoga and meditation (focus on Pranayama like Anulom Vilom).
Herbs: Continue Divya Muktavati but under supervision. Add Arjuna powder (1 tsp with warm water twice daily) to support heart health.
Diet: Include garlic, flaxseeds, and foods rich in potassium like bananas and spinach. Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
Hydration: Stay hydrated with warm water infused with tulsi or coriander seeds.
Sleep: Ensure 7–8 hours of quality sleep to reduce stress and dizziness.
Monitor BP regularly and consult a cardiologist for persistent symptoms like tightness in the chest.

It sounds like you're dealing with quite a handful right now. Managing high blood pressure can be tricky! With your current meds and the addition of Divya Muktavati, seeing your BP over 130 is frustrating, huh?
When it comes to Ayurveda, we're looking at the root cause, not just the symptoms. High BP, or hypertension, in Ayurveda is often linked with imbalance in Vata and Pitta doshas, sometimes even Kapha. Your dizziness and headaches could be related to that imbalance.
Firstly, diet plays such a crucial role. Try to focus on a Pitta-pacifying diet. So, opt for cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, pears, and leafy greens. Avoid spicy and fermented items as they can aggravate Pitta. Instead, go for foods which are sweet, bitter, and astringent. For dinner, keep things light, maybe a barley or quinoa salad with veggies.
Lifestyle changes can make a difference too. Stress reduction is key—so regular practice of meditation or pranayama (like alternate nostril breathing) could help a ton. Even something simple like a daily 15-20 minute walk in the evening can help stabilize Vata and improve circulation.
If stress is a biggie for you, try sipping on warm, herbal teas, like chamomile or tulsi. These can be calming. Also, Ashwagandha, known for its adaptogenic properties, can help manage stress.
Ensure you are getting a good amount of sleep every night. Sleep between 10pm to 6am is ideal for keeping your doshas in check.
But hey, I can't stress enough—it's essential that your symptoms are evaluated by a healthcare professional. Fluctuating BP, dizziness, headaches—look, it's a signal from your body that things need adjusting. Keep monitoring your BP regularly and don't hesitate to discuss these symptoms with your doctor, okay? They can review your meds and suggest necessary tweaks.
Stay safe, and take care!
