Going without tablets

Is it ok to go without my blood pressure tablets for a few days? I forgot to order some in time. It will be 5-6 days in total.

Well I don’t think it’s a wise thing to do , why don’t you have a phone back from your dr see if he can rish you some through .Make sure you get them through in time next month . Hope this helps x🤗😇

All sorted now thanks. I won’t let it happen again though. Been feeling quite whoozy and my heart rate dropped to 45bpm. I was surprised how little time it takes for BP to go back up once you stop taking. It was 117/79 and 2 days off tablets back to 141/92.

Ha, yes that’s why I was worried. I’m anxious enough about it as it is, since being diagnosed.

No it’s good to know these things. I took a tablet last night and felt a bit better within a couple of hours. Not sure if that’s psychological? Woke up this morning feeling like I’m a bit drunk! Hopefully it will start to level out again in a few days.

It could well be physiological or just relief that you have started back on them and nothing bad happened . Hope you feel better soon . 🤗🤗😇
