hi hope to relax you in a better way
sorry to hear about that.you should add some diuretic like furosemide 20 mg once or twice daily .it will doest not allow the extra water to build up in your body and will also maintain your blood pressure.
also have a blood pressure record so it will allow the dr to change or increase your antihypertensive drug,
take good care.
