What Causes High Blood Pressure Despite Taking Medication?
I take several high blood pressure meds, including Clonidine HCL 0.1mg twice a day starting today, and my blood pressure is still too high (in the 140 to 160s ov 80 some). I drink squirt diet pop and grapefruit juice in the evening. Could that have an effect on my readings? Thanks, Kale WD YYYY@YYYY PS - Other BP meds: Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 MG Metoprolol Tartrate 100 MG Diltiazem 240MG

Keep your compliance good. Your anti-HTN drugs may need revision. Decrease your salt intake, avoid junk, quit smoking, go for walk and meditation, destress yourself.
