Blodd pressure medicine

Blodd pressure medicine

My husband was recently put on Benicar HCT for his bllod pressure it was running a little high 168/94. 176/104 and so on. Now with the medicine when he takes his blood pressure it drops to 106/72, 104/76 if it is this low in the morning should he take the high blood pressure medicine.

It sounds like the benicar HCT is doing exactly what it is supposed to do, lower blood pressure.  104/76 isn't all that low, probably ideal.  However, urge him to sit a bit after getting up in the middle of the night, it's not that uncommon for someone to faint when taking strong blood pressure drugs when getting out of bed.  
It does, however, sound like a good drug, given his high blood pressure.  Keep us informed.
