On Atenalol For Fear Of Getting BP Taken Which Is Always Low. Any Thoughts?
I THINK ATENALOL 50 MG. IS TOO STRONG FOR ME. MY DOCTOR PUT ME ON IT FOR I HAVE HAD A FEAR OF GETTING MY BLOOD PRESSURE TAKEN BY A BAD EXPERIENCE IN A DR. OFFICE 22 YRS. AGO. MY BP GOES TOO LOW WHEN I TAKE IT BUT HE TOLD ME TO TAKE IT WHEN I GO TO THE DR. TO KEEP MY BP DOWN, IT DID FOR AWHILE BUT NOW IT GOES BACK UP EVEN WITH THE MEDICINE. I TAKE A 1/4 OF IT DAILY AND IT KEEPS IT LOW. I ALSO HAVE LEUKEMIA AND HAVE TAKEN TREAMENTS LAST YEAR AND MY BP STAYED DOWN THEN WITH THE MEDICINE AND NOW I HAVE RECOVERED FORM THE TREATMENT AND MY BP GOES BACK UP. WHAT CAN I DO TO KEEP MY BP DOWN WHEN I GO TO THE DR?

increase in Blood pressure in your case due to psychological anxiety. It decreasei it you can take low dose benzodiazepine after taking advice from a psychiatrist. U can also do relaxation exercise which would help u to stay calm during stressful condition. it would help u to avoid antihypertensive.
