I'm 38 years old. Have high BP & PVCs . Recently diagnosed to have elevated Intra Ocular Pressure.
I take 25mg of Toprol -xL 2 times a day. Eye doctor prescribed OCupress which is 1% solution of carteolol HCL - which is again a non selective beta blocker it says.I would have expected with the two beta blockers, my BP would be quite low, but I've been having very high BP ( 178/108 etc. when normally it is about 140 over 85 etc. I did take ziac - diueretic to bring the pressure down, but doesn't seem to control it. My symptoms also include fatigue - as if I've the flu. Is this a reasonable reaction. Why the sudden increase in BP & why doesn't it go down.
Thanks for your input.
