Blood pressure medication?

Question

my dad takes blood pressure medication because he has high blood pressure, but i was wondering what it would do to someone who doesnt need it.

Answer 1

It will unnececessarily reduce your blood pressure and cause hypotension which has various clinical effects on different people, usually you feel dizzy, faint; rapid breathing, fatigue, paler skin, lack of concentration and in extreme cases shock, are some other clinical effects.

There's a multitude of these medications available so there could be side-effects specific to that individual drug, which obviously once taken wouldn't cause any harm, only on prolonged intake you can know about other side effects.

Answer 2

above answer is true for vast majority of blood pressure meds, but not "Lovaza", its prescribed for high blood pressure as well as high cholesterol/triglycerides, and its simply very potent fish oil.  although, high dose is needed for therapeutic effect, anyone can benefit from increasing omega-3's.
