Let’s have an honest conversation.
Some patients are:
- Skipping blood pressure medications
- Taking diabetes medication “when they remember”
- Stopping antibiotics early
- Taking medication every OTHER day to “make it last”
- Ignoring refill dates
…and then wondering why their numbers are uncontrolled.
Dr. P Says:
Medication does not work properly without consistency.
In communities across Queens and New York City, many adults are managing:
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- High cholesterol
- Asthma
- Chronic pain
- Heart disease
And these conditions often require DAILY management — not “whenever you feel like it.”
Dr. P Says:
Feeling okay today does not mean the condition disappeared.
Many chronic illnesses are silent until complications happen.
Skipping medications can lead to:
🚩 Stroke
🚩 Heart attack
🚩 Kidney damage
🚩 Hospitalizations
🚩 Poor blood sugar control
🚩 Breathing problems
Common Reasons Patients Stop Medications:
- Side effects
- Cost
- Forgetfulness
- “I felt better”
- Fear of taking too many medications
And honestly?
These are conversations we SHOULD be having with your provider instead of stopping medications on your own.
