Since my blood pressure has successfully returned to normal after taking ASOMEX 2.5 and CTD 6.5, and my previous heart and blood tests were normal, should I continue taking these medications, or do I need further testing, like an ultrasound of my kidney blood vessels, to look for the underlying cause of my high blood pressure?
Please do not stop taking your ASOMEX (S-amlodipine) and CTD (chlorthalidone) without consulting your doctor, as stopping abruptly can cause your blood pressure to spike. Since you are young, it is very reasonable to look for underlying causes of hypertension. An ultrasound of your kidney blood vessels is a safe, non-invasive test often recommended for younger adults to rule out secondary causes. Please discuss this option with your physician to plan the best next steps safely.
