Hi, I have not posted for a while as I have been waiting for various tests and their outcomes

My ECG was fine, My Echocardiogram was fine and although I have not yet got the results of the stress test It looks like that will be fine also .

It was the Blood pressure meds causing all my problems I just can’t tolerate them at all.

95% better having stopped the last one but still got high bp I also must add I also have been unable to tolerate pain killers, vitamins, statins and lots of different foods

My Question is , having just found out there is such a thing , Has any one used bp patches called Clonidine and has anyone had a similar effect with bp meds.

They made me really , really ill not just putting up with a few side effects

MY first BP meds dropped it far too low and I couldn't function. Was changed to Candesartan which caused a severe ventricular arrhythmia. My heart would flutter for 90 minutes at a time and my diastolic pressure dropped really low. When I was taken off them it took about 3 months for the fluttering to stop and BP to go back to a normal 169/68.
