What Causes High BP And Headache While On Hydralazine?

My Dr. put me on Hydralazine 25 mg 3 x a day 7 days ago. Today I now have a headache, my B/P spiked to 168/80 and I have a flushing feeling. B/P now down to 134/64 after I took clonidine 0.1 mg. Should I consult my DR about these side effects or is my body just getting use to this drug.

You should talk to your doctor. There are much better options available that will not cause the same side effects. Most can be taken just once a day.
