Control of increases BP
I have been seeing my PCP trying to get BP under control. I am able to get systolic down but cannot get systolic under 94. I eat right, exersice every other day, don't drink. Has anyone experienced this?????
Do you measure your BP at home? I suggest you try recording what it is for a few days just before you get out of bed.
Have you had a 24 hour monitor? What were averages? How is BP at night? Do you have a Dip pattern at night? I understand about the double the dose. . . the docs answer to everything usually!!
I think I need to revise my last entry. Does anyone know why my diastolic will not go below 94. My PCP has tried lisinopril, then we doubled dosage, and at my last visit we changed mess. Now I'm taking benicar/HCT.
Guess I'm just worried about underlying issues? Essential vs. secondary.
