View allI'm really worried because for the past four months I've been dealing with high blood pressure, fatigue, and dizziness. A month ago, I saw a physician who told me my BP was 150100 and put me on some tablets. I started with Prolomet XL 25, then added Amlong 2.5 after dinner. For a couple of weeks, things seemed better with my BP at 13080, but the dizziness and fatigue haven't gone away. I've never felt like this before. Do you think there are other medicines I should consider or any other advice you might have?
It's good that your blood pressure has improved with the medications you are currently taking. However, if you are still experiencing dizziness and fatigue, it may be necessary to adjust your medication regimen. I would recommend adding a medication like Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5mg once daily in the morning. This medication can help further control your blood pressure and reduce the dizziness and fatigue symptoms you are experiencing. Remember to consult with your physician before making any changes to your medication regimen."
