You are describing a common problem when trying to find the "sweet spot" for treating high blood pressure. More than one medication is often necessary to allow the use of low doses and avoid side effects. Don't give up. Confer with your doctor about combinations of medications at low doses to allow control and avoid side effects.
Don't forget the other important treatments, diet and exercise.
