Hello enised. Well, you’ve managed to post on this forum so we’ll done getting beyond the robot! You have reached a community of people who have high blood pressure and want a little help from other people who’ve got high blood pressure too.
I don’t know where you live. Are you in the UK?
And what are the questions you’d like answered? There’s a supportive community here who would like to try and help but we are NOT medical people, just ordinary people.
Oh great to hear from someone...thank you...no Im not in uk anymore...im in southern Italy...I was first prescribed olprezide by a cons cardio yrs ago..it worked for ages with no problems..but for the last few years ive had horrendous side effects which no one believes I can buy over the counter here but am afraid to just switch incase my bp spikes...can I just take something else before olprezide is out if my system....?? Would it be better to take olprezide....which is olmasartan without the diuretic and have a seperate diuretic to take prn??.im pretty sensible about meds as worked for a big pharm co in uk yrs ago..just would like a few more yrs...having escaped covid....nit feeling so weak cranky joint pains an gen awful its nice even knowing someone bothered to reply! Thank you
I’ve given my thoughts on your other post. Personally I wouldn’t think of alternative medication without a proper discussion with a medical professional.
