- Medical Weight LossFirst, talk to your doctor about lowering your blood pressure by weight loss, exercise, and increased intake of fruit, vegetables, calcium and fiber. (Moderate salt restriction is advisable, but salt doesn't play as big a role as many people think.) If your pressure is still high, try the medication. Most people do not experience any side effects from the newer medications. If you do, discuss it frankly with your doctor. There's a good chance your medicine can be changed to something totally different. Just because you have a side effect with one medicine doesn't mean you'll react to all of them.

So yes, the test can be useful, but it sometimes creates more questions than answers.
