Hello, how are you? I would like to know if i'm doing the right thing by holding my mother's Hydralazine 25mg. She has recently been diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure and status post pacemaker insertion about a week ago. I've been taking her blood pressure before every medication adminstration. She is prescribed Hydralazine 25mg, three times a day. Her blood pressure is tricky because it's often reading like 145/40 or even 160/42 on a constant basis. I know that Hydralazine is a vasodialator, so it will drop the diastolic pressure even more. But at the same time, i don't want to make her heart failure worse by not giving it at all. Are there parameters at which to hold her Hydralazine? She is also on Norvasc 10mg once a day. I have called her cardiologist and her internal medicine physician, but they are extremely busy and it often takes days to hear back from them. Thank you so very much and i apologize if i'm long-winded.
