What Causes High Blood Pressure Post Withdrawal From Diovan?
Question: I am taking diavane hot for high blood pressure .last mth my pressure went up to 200 over 102 .I had gotten off the med. Today it's 102 over 56. Should the med be changed or take it every other day..
Brief Answer:
BP to monitor,changing diovane dose&diuretics to add
Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
I understand your concern.
If I was your caring doctor would advise to monitor your blood pressure (BP) and record the results.
You should continue taking diovane meanwhile. If the BP will persist to be high, then :
- the actual dose of diovane should be increased
- other meds like diuretics should be added
I also advise to limit salt intake.
Hope it helped.
