What do you pay for Hypertension (high blood pressure) meds? Just diagnosed, anticipating the costs.?
I know there are a lot of options, I have insurance, but I’m trying to anticipate the impact on my budget! What do you pay for the meds? Do you know what they cost?
Lifestyle change is not an option for treatment. Not overweight, good diet, gym workout daily, treadmill 4+ miles daily, cholesterol, sodium, potassium levels fine. It’s genetic, so meds are the option. I’m averaging 148/100, peaking at 168/110.
Bums me out because I’m been 115/70 forever. This symptoms just started a couple of months ago but I did not see a doc until last week. High bp never occurred to me!

BP meds differ in price and in different parts of the world. In Australia our commons meds are subsidised….I pay $15.00 for 100 Metoprolol tablets which lasts me 50 days. If you google the name of the med you are prescribed you will find the cost as well as lots of other good info.
It might be a good idea to think about seeing a Cardio and having an echo done on your heart to see if they can see anything that has caused your BP to go up. Otherwise its a fairly normal happening as we age.
