Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
110 over 49 pulse 82--My bp was 68 over 48 yesterday. I have been taking Benicar for bp but have lost 20 lb in the past 2 months. I have not taken a pill since yesterday morning. Am I still having residual effects from the Benicar? Does my bp sound ok now?
Your BP is definately better than yesterday. I would like to suggest to withhold the BENICAR and keep monitoring your blood pressure daily for a week and if it stays below 140/90 mmhg then you need not start back again. But maintain a healthy lifestyle to keep your BP under control. For your weight Loss I would suggest you to consult a physician for proper evaluation.
Wish you Good Health
