BP High, Missed A Dose Of Medicine. Prescribed Lidinopril With Atenolol. Blood Work Normal. Reason?
My bo was 144/104 on Thurs. I had forgotten to take my atenolol 50mg that day. My MD started me on lidinopril 5mg once a day as add on to the atenolol. I am obese but my weight is stable from my last visit in Oct my bloodeork is normal with no cholesterol or trigliceride concerns. I am not diabetic. Why would my pressure be that high from one missed dose?

BP High, Missed A Dose Of Medicine. Prescribed Lidinopril With Atenolol. Blood Work Normal. Reason?
Hi friend, Welcome to Health Care Magic Missing a single dose is unlikely to shoot the pressure up very high. One has to look for other reasons. Sudden withdrawal of beta-blockers (atenolol is one) can cause rebound. Take care Wishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck
