Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 75 year old man and have treated high blood pressure for 25 years with diazide and atenolol. The last 5 years the control of blood pressure has gotten too inconsistent. 165 over 115 one day and 105 over 70 three days later with no change in lifestyle. I need to change medicines. But to what??? Tried lisinopril and my blood pressure went to all time highs. Advice???
Hello I would suggest that you try Tab Norvasc 5mg (Amlodipine) it is a calcium channel blocker with a different mode of action than the drugs you've tried before. And focus more on life style changes as that would help a lot. Hope this helps in making you healthy again. Please go and rate the answer. :)
