Rashes And Stomach Disorder After Taking Medicines For High BP. Correct Medicine?
Dear Doctor, Good Morning I am 50 year Male and Govt employee have been diagnosed with high BP 160/96. I was advised Atenol 2.5 mg BD but odema was observed. Got ECG , 2D echo and TMT are OK. LDL was a little down by 5 points. Again was prescribed by minipress xl 2.5 mg BD but after few days I felt suffocation and discontinued. again I was given 2.5 mg Indapamide OD and minipress XL OD. I was encountered with rashes and discontinued Indapamide. doctors gave me Ramiprill 2.5 mg and minipress XL 2.5 mg OD. I am very sensitive to medicines. Still having little rashes and some times stomach disorders with some times good BP. Normally my cistolic is on higher side and distolic around 90. I feel experiments are going on with me by continous changing medicines. Kindly advise appropriate medicine. Regards

Hello
Your pressure is high - it has to be controlled to avoid complications to the heart, brain, kidneys and eyes.
Your investigations are normal
You have allergy - which is the cause is not known for certain - probably from drugs / a different reason is also possible. May be more than one reason. It is difficult / costly / could even be dangerous attempting to analyse
I feel you doctor is doing the right thing, under the complicated situation, you are telling
The best thing for you is to get admitted to a good tertiary care hospital, under the care of a cardiologist / they could choose the best drug and dose that suits you / In sha Allah, everything will
turn out right
Take care
God luck
