Look Jalapino - you really need to go back to the docs about this.

There are shedloads of different BP tablets, not just this one and like I said, I'm wondering if this type of drug is a sledgehammer to crack a not as far as your BP is concerned, nobody could know it needed aggressive treatment without trying the 'normal' ones first.

I am going to ring surgery today 🙂

Hi Jalapino,

I hope you get things sorted - and feel back to normal soon.
I appreciate at the moment how much meds can affect your work!
I would ignor what your workmates think - you know your body and if something is wrong you need to get it put right.

Hope the surgery can help.🙂

Unlike BG Meters a Blood Pressure monitor has no recurring costs. Please do go and get an arm cuff monitor and test yourself when you have these spells. Took me no time at all to adjust by BP med dosage.
Of course dizzy spells can have other causes but it would at least eliminate one source, which may not be picked up by your GP because no doubt your BP will rise when you go and see them.
