Rash after taking BP meds.
Smart to stop for now, call your dr so he can prescribe something else. Should you develop any oral swelling or difficulty breathing seek medical attention fast like an emergency room!
It's been a week since I discontinued the meds. I also took some Benadryl which is what they give to treat mild angioedema. I would hate to have to choke to death. That would be the worst.
Hi, just looked up side effects & skin rash comes up but very rare. You say you stopped 5 days ago-has it got worse or better? Good that you took pictures. Any breathing difficulties seed immediate medical help...
If no improvement make appoitment with docter. Hope it goes away soon.
You have posts in different areas..ugh I wish they could all be placed in one post. Let us know what is happening.
Do you have a diagnosis of Hughes Syndrome/APS? MaryF
Yes I have a diagnosis. I've had two positive test for Beta Glycoprotein and confirmed clotting events. I have had my diagnosis for 4 years.
I am in the states APsnotfab. My doc is older and he takes a lot of vacations. I will have to wait two weeks to speak with him. The rash is all gone now that the meds have been stopped. My highest BP reading has been 130 over 90. I don't think I need the meds unless it starts to act up again. Thanks for all of the good advice.
