Need a second opinion
Written by: Dr. Rowena | Posted: Nov 03 2009
Q: My doctor has me on 6 different bp meds-Hyzaar 100-12.5/1 day, Spironolactone 25mg/1 day, Benazepril hcl 10mg/1 day, HCTZ 25mg/1 day, Carvedilol 12.5 mg/1 tab 2x day, Clonidine HCl 0.1 mg/1 tab 2x day. I feel this is very excessive. In the last year I’ve been to the ER 3x because my bp was in stroke zone. I also take an extra Clonidine & Carvedilol periodically when my bp spikes during the night. Can you help me with any advice?
A: You are taking many medicines but your blood pressure isn’t in control. Assuming you are following your doctor’s instructions, a second opinion could be helpful. Health Grades can help you locate a doctor in your area. Click here.
