Bisoprislol 5mg & Increased Ramipil to 10 mg

In my earlier post I wrote about my blood pressure increase to 160 systolic and medication increase to 10 mg ramipril with 5mg bisoprlol had little effect. So GP added lercanidipine. This is the 2nd day and my bp is back to 128/72 . Has anyone else had this quick reaction??? I only hope it continues to stay low without going too low.

Hello :-)

I am not on the same BP meds as you and I am not sure if mine worked that quick but it certainly is a positive and seems to be working for you and that is fantastic !

I am really pleased you BP is now getting under control must make you feel so much better knowing it is :-) x
