What Else Should I Take To Control My Blood Pressure?
I am a diabetic of 44 years and about 3 weeks ago I had swelling in my feet and came down with a terrible cold. I am taking 40mg furosemide and my blood sugar jumps to 500 but if I don't take it my blood pressure goes up to 189/107. (I take blood pressure medicine on a regular basis too) What should I do?
