stubborn hypertension

[Cyclamenfan]

First symptoms at least fifteen years ago (pressure headache) during stressful teaching job.

Ramipril sorted it until three years later needed Indapamide added. Retired and felt better

Had a TIA in 2022, consultant advised to come off Indapamide because of low sodium and potassium results. Also had been feeling very fatigued and weak, coming off Indapamide helped.

Then put on statins and clopidogril and an increase of Ramipril and new med Felodopine as BP had increased.

Still trying to get it down under 140/90, nearly there, losing a stone and a half helped. Should do more exercise.

Hoping for better results next week when it is checked.
