Should you ask ur Doc to Prescribe Hi Blood Pressure Meds as Proactive Measure?

I have heard of some people taking metformin proactively, but it isn't something I know much about. As far as blood pressure, your question is very broad since all people are different. Everyone has different health so I am sure some 40+ year olds have no need for BP medicine while some may need it. If someone is on the higher side of normal I could see them being RXd it proactively but I think there might be better ways to prevent heart attack than BP meds.

I have never personally heard of people being RXd BP meds proactively but that doesn't mean it never happens. I am on 20mg Lisinopril a day but since the gym is open again and I am doing cardio 5X a week my BP is going down and I may be able to get off the meds. I never thought about trying to stay on them proactively I just figure eating clean and doing cardio is my way to be proactive about heart health.
