Brief Answer:
Flomax is actually a drug used in treating hypertension!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this increasing blood pressure that you have reported. Flomax helps reduce blood pressure and cannot be the reason for the increasing blood pressure. If you had complained of lower than expected blood pressure values, then flomax would have been considered a possible cause.
What has changed? Are you stressed? HAs your diet changed? These are all possible causes of rising blood pressure. Also, two value is not informative enough to draw conclusions. I will encourage you to recored more values in the morning, afternoons, evenings and just before bed and report to me for more accurate interpretation and insights,
In all, Flomax cannot cause increased pressure as the same drug is used in treating hypertension.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

I also take Pharmaton SA . Could this clash with any of the meds
Brief Answer:
I don't know this drug!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Pharmaton is not an approved medication. I cannot comment on its benefits/harms because there are no clear scientific studies that can provide such information. I will recommend you get a pause and see whether there is any change in your numbers. If there is, then that could be a possible cause and you might want to stop it.
Keep me updated. I wish you well.
