I changed high bp medicine about a few months ago and have experienced
moments in which my bp seems out of control no matter what I do. I
went to see seversal doctors and was given several recipees. Each
usually worked for a week or so and then all of a sudden my bp just
refused to comply any more. I noted that most of the medicine used
falls into the category of calcium channel blocker. With the
co-administration of beta-blocker, they stand a chance but without
beta=blocker, the experience could be quite frightening. Some doctors
told me that is because i am too nervous, and other doctors pointed
out this is because I moved out of the old medication too abruptly and
therefore the body refuses to accept new medication.
Currently i am using two systems to protect myself. I take 5 mg of
Zestrial and a beta-blocker in the morning and 10 mg of nifedipine
around 2pm. While the Zestrial is sustained release on a 24 hours
basis, the tablet of 10 mg of nifedipine last only for 12 hours. I am
using these two medicines in case one fails me. I would welcome some
suggestion as to how to take out one and keep the other without the
same set of disarray that took place before. Given a choice, I would
keep Zestrial as i am under the impression that ACE Inhibitor is
better for hereditary bp and my blood vessels are getting less elastic
with age.
Thank You In Advance,
