Yes I have a question my mother has high blood pressure and she is a diabetic. Her doctor prescribe all of this medication months apart. Here are all of the medications. Lisinopril 20mg, Metformin 1000mg, Carvedilol 12 mg, Glimepiride 2mg , Amlodipine Besylate 10 mg and also insulin and she is taking all of these at once and she fainted today what should I do to help her.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The possible reasons are hypotesion, low pulse rate or low blood sugar. She should monitor her blood pressure and if on lower side then dose of anti-hypertensives should be reduced. Also, get pulse rate checked if on lower side; then Carvedilol dose needs to be reduced. Glimepiride may cause low blood sugar.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
