How Can Blood Pressure Levels Be Kept Under Control?
I am titrating off metoprolol & but still wearing a clonidine patch. had spiking BP 5 yrs ago, but have not had episodes for 2 1/2 yrs & BP is usually lower than classic HTN. Don t like all the side effects of BP meds. Just had all cardiac tests in Jan. 2017 with cath, etc. clean results all around. Couldn t I remain off metoprolol and switch from the clonidine patch to oral clonidine and take a dose just when BP goes up? Thanks, Lori
