Guest guest Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Tell your dr and ask thAt benicAr be stopped and prob decrease inspra. I assume you are not taking any other meds or u would have mentioned them. We are not clairvoyant.

For the past 17 years I have had a BP of 170-180, has gone as high as 220, despite being on 6 drugs. My BP today is 135/70. My head hurts so bad, I am listless and very very tired. My head feels like it is swimming. I dont feel like doing anything and I have been in bed all day. For the past 3 days I have been dashing like mad, I though I was dashing the previous 12 days but I wasn't. Any input? Phyllis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I know the feeling, right now my BP is mostly 110/70 despite it being around 150/100 for years ( on 5 meds also ) Dashing is incredible, however you need to lower your meds, start removing them and dash a bit less because your body has no idea what's going on and it's like " WTF !!! " then when you are fine at your current BP, dash more until you can do basically what I do, either I take NO pills or I take 1/4 of a 50mg spiro ( 12.25 mg ) I was on this meds: Diovan max dose 320mg Atenolol 50mg Amlodipine 10mg Terazosine 1.5mg HCTZ 25mg And despite all of this my BP was 150/100 ( as I said before ) and I was 34, ( I just turned 36 now ) but sometimes I'm dizzy cause my BP is so low !! During the morning I go to 100/60 without meds and just dash... Just managed to got an echo, my heart is perfect, no idea what else to tell you. oh a few weeks ago I ate some chinese food, that had some soy sauce ( no MSG ) that was a friday my BP went up Saturday in the morning, sunday monday and tuesday... actually on saturday and sunday I had to take 25mg of spiro.. So really Dashing is the magic thing to do... TC > > Never in a million years i thought I would have this problem but I have been on Inspra 50mg and Benicar 10mg for 13 days.
