My BP is staying so high 199-230 over 99-129. I keep a pounding in my head and shoulders ache and I just feel like a knife thru my back on the left side. It has been going on for about 2-3 mo. My doctor has had me on as many as 5 BP meds at a time but it seemed that the more meds I take the higher it has gotten. I stopped everything except Clonidine and it is trying to stay somewhat lower with just the one med. I am looking for another doctor also. What is doing this? I eat right I have lost over 70 lbs and things are just crazy with the BP now.
