I m 82...a woman. I ve BEEN TAKING METOPROLOL50 mg twice a day, diovan (Valsartan?) 80mg. once a day. Lately BP has risen when I merely walk back/forth 25ft hall..OR a few feet to get meds..after I ve been lying down/sitting.. Lying down, BP is low. A couple days ago, to E.R. -BP 215/114, rapid pulse, sharp headache pain..one side. Today , primary physician added NORVASC 2.5 mg along with beta -blocker & Ace - Inhibitor that I ve been taking. What do you think? (I feel weak every day....some days much worse than others.) Thank You! YYYY@YYYY
