What Causes Drop In Blood Pressure After Taking Atenolol And Amlodipile?
Question: I'm 72 years old and in atenolol 25mg and amlodipile (sp) 5mg. I take them once a day, however today my blood pressure has dropped from 125/80 to 106/60... Should I be worried?
Brief Answer:
See your Primary Care Provider
Detailed Answer:
Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The ideal option is to get examined ...
Generally we do some tests – ECG to exclude a silent heart problem / Lab test for kidney function and electrolytes
Generally, nothing to worry and no cause for an emergency
Skip the next dose of Amlodipine / may half the dose, the day after that
Prognosis is generally excellent in such situations…
Take care
Good luck
