A little while ago someone was asking about blood pressure medication and T. I said I would report back at some time so here I am.
When I got my T a year ago I was so floored I wouldn't take any medication of any kind including blood pressure medication.
It started in the middle of taking a lot of antibiotics and steroids to try and rid me of a chest infection!
I kept an eye on my blood pressure with a machine and actually it has been fine.
For the last 3 weeks or so my T has been horrendous, I just couldn't get it to 'the back of my head' as I call it. It has been so intrusive!
3 days ago I decided to check my blood pressure and it was through the roof! I kept an eye on it for a few days but it was still bad so I decided to start my blood pressure medication again as I knew it was too risky not to.
Well here is the point, I have taken my medication for two days and when I got up this morning my T was much easier and at a level I find easier to cope with.
I only take 5mg Amlodipine once a day, but This makes me wonder if allowing your blood pressure to get worse causes T to get worse as well.
Anyway, this has been my experience so far and I did say I would report back.
Hope this helps.
