BP meds, same dose one day too strong, next too weak. Anybody else?

Recommended Posts

I'm on new BP meds that are kicking my butt one day and the next I cant tell I took it.

No rhyme or reason to the days being so different except that I'm in w/d/ recovery. Right?

ONe day I have to have other folks drive for me due to dizziness and the next I'm fine.

My face feels hot and tingling. Dizzy and ataxic.  Gosh its awefull.

Anyone else suffering this?

How long did it last?

Micardis, a arb

You?

 

I just started Losartan, in the same class as yours. They do take awhile to start working. I'm always dizzy. Maybe you're taking too much? I have orthostatic hypotension, also, and that's why I'm dizzy. The sitting and standing bps aren't the same.

 

GOOD LUCK!!!

Hello there,

 

I'm not sure how often you are checking your blood pressure. I kind of have the same issue where it goes up and down and days works different so I always check three times a day what my blood pressure is before I take my medication. When you check your blood pressure, you will know if you need to take more than usual or less than usual.

 

Take Care
