Doctor's Answer

Dear Bushkey,
It is not uncommon for there to be some "overshoot" when starting new blood pressure medications. I would call your doctor today and mention the numbers to him. Very likely he will want to decrease your medication dosages.
A note to our regular readers - If you have what you think is a medical emergency or urgent situation please call your doctor or 911 at once.
