I have been put onto blood pressure medication, as my BP is 'dangerously' high. So far I've taken Losinipril, Perindropil, Propranolol, then moved to another type Doxazosin, a calcium channel blocker All of them have aggravated restless legs, to such an extent that I haven't slept for weeks, other than dropping off with exhaustion for a few minutes. I'm completely exhausted trying to find a suitable treatment. I have used some, suggested on this forum, which were known to work well with RLS. But I seem to have no luck with them. My GP has warned me that I'm at risk of a heart attack/ stroke at any time, and is trying to find a suitable medication as soon as possible. But I'm running out of options, and we haven't even addressed high cholesterol, which I also have.
Has anyone on the forum had a similar experience, but found a suitable treatment which did not aggravate restless legs?
The GP is working through an arsenal of treatments on a trial and error basis, but I wonder what will be left of me before a suitable treatment can be found.
