<s>[INST] I have hypertension, do I have to take medication? [/INST] In the case of moderate hypertension, maybe only a programmed diet and physical exercise plan are necessary. If these measures are not enough, then there is a wide range of medicines that can also be used. Your doctor will select a suitable medication and the correct dose. Nevertheless, you must remember that just because you take antihypertensive tablets it does not mean you can stop following the prescribed diet and exercise plan recommended for you.
