Suggest Remedy For High BP When On Exforge
I have taken Exforge for about 12 years to control High Blood Pressure but it seems to be ineffective now; can the body get used to a medicine ? I take Exforge, Niaspan and Potassium Count 165/100hloride in the morning. When I get up before I take my pharma, my BP is around 150/92 , plus/minus 5 mmHg. In the evening, my BP is aboutatat 165/100 to 175/104 -- I take 0.4 mg Nitrostat and that takes the BP down to 130/75 plus/minus 5 mmHg. Some Dr. say I should NOT take the Nitrostat as it is the last resort. I have tried supplements that are to increase the nitrous oxide and relax the blood vessels -- it did not help -- unless I did not take it long enough. I would like to see my BP no more than 140/90 -- I have explained it to my Dr. but she does not appear to be an expert in HBP -- WHAT should I do ???? Art
