Fasting on Yom Kippur with anxiety and high blood pressure

Question:

 

I am currently on psych medications for chronic anxiety, depression and high blood pressure with chest pains. What are my fasting options on Yom Kippur.

Answer:

I am sorry to hear about your medical condition. This is a question that you have to ask your doctor, the one who knows your specific case, and how fasting will effect you. When we have the medical information on how the fasting will effect you, then we will be able to access what you should do halachically
