Question: I have high BP, mainly the systolic. Once it reaches 130 or higher I get heavy headed and feel bad. Bottom number rarely goes over 85. I at times get lightheaded and my legs feel like they could give way. Mostly feel that way when the BP is slightly elevated but also feel that way when it is 120's over 70's. I have had several tests, including cardiac work up, stress tests, brain mri, kidney ct, and everything comes back as normal. If I do physical things like around the yard, sometimes I have these symptoms, sometimes I don't. I am on Edarbycodyl 40/25 daily, edarbi 40mg daily, clonidine 0.1 mg prn 3 - 4 times a day, Gemfibrozil 600mg BID. I go back to my primary physician in a couple of weeks, but this has been going on for almost a year if not longer. I need help so I can feel good. Thanks

I have been to those physicians, no answer except that I maybe sensitive to medicines, maybe all meds. I wake up and my BP is usually 147/84 on the average, I take a 0.1 clonidine, wait an hour then take the Edarbycodyl 40/25mg. My BP usually goes to a normal range for 7-10 hours then i take another 0.1 Clonidine. It does not matter at times if my BP is normal or high, I get that shaky, unstable, lightheaded feeling. My A1C was normal. Some days I have very few symptoms if none at all, other days it is hard to do things. At times my face and neck feel rigid, and that it is locked in place but yet i can stillmove. that might last about 5 minutes to 30 minutes. Brain MRI-normal, Kidneys and functions-normal, all tests have come back normal that I have taken. Also, I do have muscle spasms in my upper left arm at times. Not painful, just annoying. All cardiac work up is normal. I see my Doctor on May 10 for another complete blood work. Mainly checking my liver enzymes, cholesterol, and other tests. It has been about 4 months since last done. I was working, but I am not now since april 2011. I have trouble with my left anle since 1987 from military action. It locked up and have surgeries on it. Hard to stand for 8 or more hours with pain and swelling. So i had to quit work. IMy doctor told me to file for ssi disability. I receive some from the VA. I have bills like everyone else, and I am using retirement money and i know it wont last forever. My doctor says i do have some anxiety. I do not worry about much at all, and I sleep well, eat well, I am 6'1" and weigh 232 pounds. I stay as active as I can and have walked in different relays. I would love to do more, but these issues limit me. I need some help in finding out what is going on. please help. thanks
