BP Medication stopped

I would book in to the GP for a medication review.

Over the years I've tried various bp medications which have been pretty hit and miss in getting one which suits me. One which I settled for was Candesartan which I took for a number of years until I suffered such a dizzy spell one day that I blamed that medication for the cause. I must admit that I was never overly happy or comfortable taking the stuff but needs must at the time my bp was out of control. However I rang the gp after I'd stopped the medication and told her that I could no longer function on a low bp and a pulse you could hardly feel. I swear the damn stuff has done damage and reduced the capacity of the heart to pump properly.
Most beta-blockers cause the ankles to swell ( I don't think it's natural,personally ) as it's stopping the normal circulation.
The BP does fluctuate during a normal day. Mine is a " white-coat " thing when I have it taken at the surgery,from being low to normal at home. Take your BP each day for a week then show the results to your gp.

I have the opposite problem and have always had a low BP. I have been put on bisoprolol to try and control a heart rhythm problem and last night in bed my BP was 97/38!!!! I took it as I felt a bit queer! Can't get appt with GP till Thursday.

have been taking Bisoprolol for a long time due to AF and coupled with statins,warfarin and spironolactone ( all thinners ) my BP has been very low at times too. It seems that every time I visit the GP which isn't often ( maybe once a year ) my BP suddenly goes up so they prescribe tablets to bring it down until I explain that it's they who cause it to rise. Makes me wonder over the years if I've been taking such stuff unnecessarily that it's been my " in-built " anxiety that's created the problem.
Bisoprolol is for anxiety too.

I was on here a while back talking about BP medication. I was taken off Bendrofluazide after about 10 years but was left on Candesartan which I have also been on for some time.
Now 'they' are trying to find something to go with the Candesartan. I was on Calcium blocker for 1 month but felt so bad that I had to come of it and am now on Bisoprolol. I thought I should give this a little longer to give it a fair trial so have been on this for 3 months. The worst thing is the resulting lethargy. I think that alot of these BP medications are formulated to slow us down but I really don't want to be feeling permanently like this. I'm thinking that there is most likely no medication that doesn't cause this problem.

I am going to discuss this with the chemist within my doctor's practice on 8th November and see if there is any alternative that doesn't have a tiredness side effect.

I may decide to tolerate it because it definitely does reduce anxiety .
