Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since you are taking 4 different drug for hypertension.
How, one can know the side effects of medicine without their names ? Write down the names of drugs?
Mention the age ?
Exact reading of blood pressure as blood pressure is of two types,
1 Systolic upper B P ,
2 diastolic B P lower .
If lower B P is very high ( > 100 mm of Hg call is moderate severe ,if >120 malignant B P ).
So please upload all relevant reports. Good luck.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
To rule out possible culprit drug which is causing the above mentioned side effects , we need to know the names of those drugs.
I suspect its due to the usage of centrally acting anti-hypertensive drugs like clonidine. but we should rule out that.
