Doctor: Hi There I have read the medical details provided by you and I understand your concern for your health. Familial Hypertension is quite common now  days and it usually affect young age group. Yes your Blood pressure is high and it needs to be managed. Your doctor has put you on a blood thinner and a combination of two anti hypertensive drugs. I personally don't think there's a need to start you on so many meds so it's advisable that you should personally consult a cardiologist and this regarding this issue.Things I would like to recommend you are1. Start going for daily morning walks 45 mins a day for 5 days a week.2. Low dietary salt intake.3. Avoid junk, canned and deep fried food items.4. Stop smoking completely  ( if you do ). 5. Include good amount of fruits and vegetables in your daily routine diet.6. Keep yourself stress free7. Avoid drinking too much of coffee or drinks that contains caffeine as it also increases bp.Follow this routine strictly for 3 months and hopefully you will not need anymore meds to lower your BP. All medicines do have their side effects on long term use.I wish you good health
