Dr. increased meds & I went through 6-7 changes in meds. was in ER twice with BP 200+ over 100. I wasput on yet another med. have had numerous test, so far found nothing. I take BP 3 times /day now for over a month, it was seemingly better but I have days where I take BP in am & its ok, later in the day say 1:00-4:00 I start feeling funny/lightheaded & dizzy, I take BP & now it's gone down. It may read 104 over 60, in that range. I have been told to take another pill in eve. but I have to be careful not to crash my bp which has happened once to the point I pasted out. not funny, I am thinking there is something else wrong somewhere but I've been sent to a specialist/Nephroligist/Hypertension Dr. & want to feel confident but I don't, it's been going on too long. What should I do???? I am 66 yrs old & have been on BP meds for close to 20 yrs. & have had no trouble until about 1 yr. ago when I started having very high BP.
