I am currently on MiCardis and Atenolol. Have responded well to them for over two years. Last few days have experienced increased BP according to my monitor but I'll check three times in a row and the readings will differ significantly (Ex: yesterday, 151/110 then 146/109 and finally 137/93) This has been happening the past four days.
So my questions are: Should I seek to change medications? Change dosages? Or could there be other causes that are temporary that might 'go away'? I have been taking Mucinex DM and have congestion.
Well, it looks like your bp is dropping as you relax. Are you allowing enough time for your bp to settle when you sit down? At cardiac rehab they would put the cuff on, wait 10 mins then press the button.
