Labile Hypertension. Taking Atacand,atenolol. Have Urinary Incontinence. Family History Of Depression. Flu-like Symptoms, Diarrhea. How To Handle The Meds?
have a history of labile hypertension and have been treated for years
meds 16 mg. atacand, 12.5 atenolol
highly intolerant of drugs - have urinary incontinence (can't tolerate diuretics - tried a few & were not effective),
collagenous colitis, lactose intolerance, ibs, and family history of depression
currently systolic highs 140 - 160, lows 120-130 diastolic 60 - 80
my problem are episodes of BP of 200/95 when the current meds are doubled and new ones added - none of which
help to lower but just make me sick - flu-like symptoms, diarrhea, frequent urination, etc.
after 2 wks of this & researching on web, tried QI QONG - brought It down - even got some 110 & 118 readings
because of all the fluctuations, don't know how best to handle the meds - at times when it's low do u reduce or
stop pills and take them when it's above a certain amount or double if a BP 200 surge occurs .

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Fluctuation in hypertension patients are due to many reasons , one of them is the nature of patient.
Sudden palpitation and wrath increases blood pressure ( systolic).
Sudden emotions are acts like this.
QI. QONG is not a scientifically proved drug so ,how it will work ,one can not say.
Tiredness, frequent urination ,diarrhea all are due to anxiety and tension.
Fatigue may be due to hyperkalaemia ( increase amount of potassium in body due to diuretics).
Consult a physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
