Can you skip antihypertensive medication if your blood pressure is low in the summer?

If the blood pressure is low in summer, it is not recommended not to take antihypertensive drugs, you can follow the doctor’s advice to appropriately reduce the intake of antihypertensive drugs. Lower blood pressure in summer may be associated with increased vagal tension. Due to the rise in sweating and insufficient blood volume in summer, it may be manifested as low blood pressure. You can follow the doctor’s advice to appropriately reduce antihypertensive medication, and if your blood pressure remains low after the medication has been reduced, you can temporarily discontinue the antihypertensive medication. It is important to measure blood pressure continuously for different periods of time and keep a detailed record, and consult a doctor in time to ask him/her to judge whether it is necessary to stop the medication or make adjustments to the antihypertensive medication. Some people with low blood pressure may stop taking antihypertensive medication, but after stopping the medication, the blood pressure rises again, which may result in high and low blood pressure, and abnormal fluctuations in blood pressure may easily cause damage to target cells. Therefore, the use of antihypertensive drugs should follow the doctor’s instructions, do not arbitrarily stop taking drugs, reduce the amount of drugs.
