Q. Medication that can be taken to avoid side effects after stopping using pharmapress 10 mg

i am 30 years old and was prescribed to use pharmapress 10mg for hypertension when i was 27 years old of which i stopped usung it couple of months after that, and started training regularly and eating healthily. Three months after i stopped taking the tablets i experienced terrible headache and lost eyesight. Can this be linked to the tabletts i used to take or what can i do to avoid the headache and side effects from stoping taking the tablets. I could not cope with the knowledge that i had to take such kind of medication at my age and currently i am suffering from loss of eyesight that is happening gradually and the optometrist can not see anything wrong with my eyes or the cause.

Have you had your blood pressure tested after stopping? It may be aresult of your BP and NOT the tablets.

You should go see a doctor.Soon.
